Abstract
During the Edo period, in the Ise-Matsusaka region (present-day Mie Prefecture), the Hana-syoubu cultivar, which had a large and significantly drooping perianth was bred by Yoshii Sadagorou.
It is unique flower shape, so it is grown in a flower pot and placed on a three-tiered brood so that the perianth are maximally visible.
In this respect, it differs the point of view in the flower gardens of the Edo-group and perspective of the Higo-group of Hana-shoubu, which is cultivated and praised in the spirit of Bushido.
Therefore, the cultivars bred in the Ise-Matsusaka region are now called Ise-groups.
It was found that that the cause of the large drooping of the outer perianth of the cultivars of the Ise-group is due to the crape-like structure of the perianth and the large amount intercellular spaces.
This structure creates shading on the outer perianth when viewed from the side, thus increasing its perceptual value.
In addition, cultivars of Ise-group flowers do not form seeds.
So, esterase isoenzyme analysis was performed.
As a result, it became clear that it was independently bred from wild iris that grows naturally in the Saiku area on the outskirts of Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture.
Therefore, it became clear that the Ise group cultivars of Hana-shoubu, like Chrysanthemums and Dianthus peculiar to the Ise region, have a culture of drooping perianth and appreciating them from the side, and have been bred and developed independently according to the ornamental style.
