EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the crimson bloom of the Camellia japonica Nois, also known as Susukage, a beloved and iconic Japanese camellia variety. The engraving is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki, created as part of his comprehensive illustrated guide to medicinal plants, Honzo Zufu, published in 1884. Iwasaki, born in 1786, was a pioneering figure in Japanese botany, integrating Western scientific knowledge into his studies. This enchanting image of the crimson camellia flower in full bloom, with its velvety petals unfurled and its lush, green foliage, is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and his deep understanding of the natural world. The crimson camellia, or Susukage, is a popular ornamental plant in Japan, cherished for its stunning, vibrant blossoms that bloom during the winter months. Thea japonica Nois, the botanical name for this variety, is a reference to its place of origin, Japan, and the Latin term for "full flower," pleno, which describes the abundant, double-layered petals that form this bloom. This beautiful woodblock engraving not only serves as a visual representation of the crimson camellia but also holds historical significance as a valuable record of Iwasaki's groundbreaking work in Japanese botany. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japanese botanical illustration and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
