EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print showcases the enchanting beauty of Kongiku, or the Japanese aster, Aster ageratoides. The print is part of Kusa Bana Hyakushu, or One Hundred Varieties of Flowers, a series created in Tokyo by the renowned artist Kono Bairei in 1901. Kongiku is a beloved plant in Japanese culture, known for its vibrant, daisy-like flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The intricate details of the aster's petals and leaves are masterfully captured in this woodblock print, with each petal's edge delicately outlined in black ink and filled in with rich, saturated colors. The history of the Japanese aster dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 AD), where it was first introduced to Japan from China. Over the centuries, it became a popular garden flower and was often used in traditional Japanese art, including woodblock prints, paintings, and poetry. The woodblock printing process involved carving each image into a block of wood, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. Each color required a separate block, resulting in the intricate, multi-layered designs that characterize this art form. In this print, the artist's skillful use of color and detail brings the Kongiku to life, transporting us to a serene Japanese garden filled with the delicate beauty of this beloved flower. This stunning woodblock print not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also offers a glimpse into Japan's rich botanical and artistic history. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a must-have for any collection focusing on Japanese art, botanical illustrations, or garden flowers.
