EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the Crimson-flecked White Camellia, or Kara Nishiki (Thea japonica Nois. flore semipleno forma), a beautiful and rare variety of camellia. The engraving is part of Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in Japan in 1884. The work was created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan En Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making him one of the first Japanese botanists to do so. The Crimson-flecked White Camellia is depicted in stunning detail, with its pristine white petals flecked with crimson, creating a captivating contrast. The intricate engraving technique brings out the delicate texture and veining of the camellia's petals, as well as the intricacies of its stamen and pistil. The camellia was highly valued in Japanese culture for its medicinal properties, and Iwasaki's work served as an essential reference for traditional herbalists and practitioners. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world, as well as the artistic and scientific achievements of Japan's past. The intricacy and detail of the woodblock engraving technique are a testament to the skill and dedication of the artist and the importance of botanical illustration in the history of science and art.
