Violet Blue Fleur De Lis Mum
Japandi wall art at its most architecturally specific is the piece that reads as both botanical and structural simultaneously — the form that holds a precise color in a way that rewards attention at close range and reads clearly from across the room. The Violet Blue Fleur de Lis Mum is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a violet blue glaze — the specific blue-purple that appears in Japanese iris paintings and Meiji-era textile dyes — shaped in the Fleur de Lis chrysanthemum cultivar, which is the mum form with quill-shaped petals that radiate outward in the stylized pattern that the Fleur de Lis name references.
The blue-purple of Japanese iris tradition in the most precise mum form
Chive designed the Japan Collection in 2020 around the specific palette of the Japanese aesthetic tradition. Violet blue references the Japanese iris — kakitsubata — one of the most celebrated flowers in Japanese aesthetic tradition, appearing in Ogata Korin's famous iris screens, in poetry by Ariwara no Narihira, and in the Meiji-era ceramic and textile traditions that used iris-purple as a statement color. The Fleur de Lis mum form holds this violet blue in quill-shaped petals that radiate outward in a pattern that reads as both botanical and heraldic — the chrysanthemum has been the imperial flower of Japan for a thousand years. Denver Botanic Gardens carries the Japan Collection.
Denver Botanic Gardens carries the Japan Collection. The Chicago Botanic Garden stocks it. The New York Botanical Garden carries it.
