White and Pink Camellias: A Botanical Treasure from Meiji-era Japan This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving showcases two stunning varieties of camellias, Sarukaze (Thea japonica 'Sarukaze') and Sekimori (Thea japonica 'Sekimori'), captured in their full bloom. The image is taken from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in 1884 by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneering figure in Japanese botany, being one of the first to integrate Western scientific knowledge into his studies. This engraving is a testament to his dedication and expertise, as well as the rich cultural heritage of Japanese botanical art. The Sarukaze camellia is distinguished by its large, pure white petals, while the Sekimori boasts delicate pink blooms with a slightly ruffled edge. Both varieties are native to Japan and are highly prized for their beauty and medicinal properties. Thea japonica, the scientific name for the camellia, has a long history of use in traditional Japanese medicine for treating various ailments, including inflammation and fever. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when botanical exploration and artistic expression were intertwined. The image is a precious reminder of the enduring connection between nature, art, and science in Japanese culture.
