EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print, titled "Toad Lily, Tricyrtis hirta, and Mexican Aster," is a captivating work of art from Kusa Bana Hyakushu (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), published in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901. The print was created by the renowned Japanese artist Kono Bairei, showcasing his exceptional skill in botanical illustration. The central focus of the print is the Toad Lily, Tricyrtis hirta, with its unique, nodding, white flowers adorned with distinctive brown spots, resembling the spots on a toad's back. This rare and beautiful plant is native to Japan, Korea, and China, and is known for its delicate beauty that blooms in late summer. Accompanying the Toad Lily is the Mexican Aster, Cosmos bipinnatus, with its vibrant, pink-purple petals and feathery, white centers. This stunning flower is native to Mexico and is now widely cultivated around the world for its attractive appearance and ease of growth. The inclusion of these two flowers in the same print highlights the artist's appreciation for the unique beauty of each bloom and their harmonious coexistence. The intricate details of the petals, leaves, and stems are rendered with remarkable precision, making this print a true masterpiece of botanical art. The history of Japanese woodblock prints dates back to the 17th century, with botanical illustrations becoming increasingly popular during the Edo period (1603-1868). Kusa Bana Hyakushu was part of this rich tradition, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world through the artistry of masterful woodblock printers like Kono Bairei.
