EDITORS COMMENTS
This color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the intricate details of the roots, stem, and leaves of Angelica polymorpha, also known as Jokou in Japanese. The engraving is a masterpiece from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan En Iwasaki in 1884. Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western knowledge into his studies, making him one of the first Japanese botanists to delve into the fusion of traditional and modern botanical exploration. The engraving reveals the complex root system of Angelica polymorpha, with its fibrous and branching structure, extending deep into the earth. The stem, adorned with intricate veins, rises from the roots, bearing the lush, green leaves at its top. The leaves, characterized by their compound structure and serrated edges, are intricately depicted, revealing their unique texture and form. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is a testament to Iwasaki's dedication and expertise in botanical illustration. The use of vibrant colors adds to the visual appeal and enhances the accuracy of the representation. This image provides a glimpse into the rich history of Japanese botanical studies and the fusion of traditional and Western knowledge during the Meiji period.
