EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored woodblock print showcases the captivating beauty of the Leopard Plant, Farfugium japonicum, as depicted in Kono Bairei's contribution to Kusa Bana Hyakushu (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), published in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901. The intricate design of the print highlights the unique textured leaves of the leopard plant, which bear distinctive white spots that resemble leopard skin, hence its common name. The Leopard Plant, native to Japan, is a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world due to its attractive foliage and ability to thrive in various climates. This botanical masterpiece was created during the Meiji period (1868-1912), a time of significant cultural and artistic development in Japan. The woodblock printing technique used in this print involves carving the design into a block of wood, inking it, and pressing it onto paper. The intricate details of the leopard plant's leaves and the delicate shading of its spots required great skill and precision from the artist and craftsmen involved in the production process. This print is a testament to the rich history of Japanese woodcut art and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and celebrating the natural world. The Leopard Plant print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record of a beloved garden flower.
