This stencil print has very much the feel of a katagami or stencil print created to decorate fabrics. Since it represents irises and is from set of prints of the months, this one probably is for the traditional 5th month when irises play an important role in the Boy's Day held on the fifth day of the fifth month.

There are two katagami in the Lyon Collection.
