EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print showcases the captivating beauty of the Nagoran or Japan Sedirea Orchid, Aerides japonicum Reichb. The intricately detailed image is a masterpiece from Kusa Bana Hyakushu (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), a renowned botanical series published in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901. The series, which featured the work of renowned Japanese artist Kono Bairei, showcased a diverse range of flowers and plants native to Japan and was a testament to the country's rich natural heritage. The Nagoran orchid, with its delicate, cascading blooms, is a rare and enchanting species of orchid native to Japan. Its vibrant, white petals and deep purple sepals create a striking contrast, making it a favorite among orchid enthusiasts. The intricate detailing in this woodblock print brings out the unique textures and patterns of the orchid's petals and sepals, making it a true work of art. The history of orchid cultivation in Japan dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 AD), and the country has since become renowned for its orchid gardens and breeding programs. The Nagoran orchid, with its distinctive appearance and rarity, has long been a source of fascination for botanists and artists alike. This woodblock print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a window into Japan's rich botanical history. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Nagoran orchid to life, making it a true masterpiece of Japanese art and a must-have for any botanical or art collection.
