EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color-printed woodblock engraving depicts the exquisite White Camellia, Fuyusaku Noshiratama, also known as Thea japonica Nois. Forma, a beautiful variety of camellia native to Japan. The engraving is the work of Kanen Iwasaki (1786-1842), a renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist. Iwasaki was one of the first Japanese scholars to integrate Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making him a pioneer in the field of Japanese botany. The image is taken from Honzo Zufu, an illustrated guide to medicinal plants published in 1884. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the delicate white petals of the camellia, each one intricately rendered with precise lines and vibrant colors. The plant is depicted against a simple background, allowing the beauty of its form to take center stage. Camellias have long been revered in Japan for their aesthetic and medicinal properties. The White Camellia, Fuyusaku Noshiratama, was believed to have cooling and calming effects, making it a popular choice for traditional Japanese medicine. This engraving serves not only as a stunning work of art but also as a testament to the rich history of Japanese botanical knowledge and the contributions of pioneering scholars like Kanen Iwasaki.
