EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the Crimson Camellia, Tamagure (Thea japonica Nois, flore pleno forma), a captivating bloom from the Camellia family. The image is a masterpiece created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki, as part of his comprehensive illustrated guide to medicinal plants, Honzo Zufu, published in 1884. Iwasaki, born in 1786, was a pioneering figure in Japanese botanical studies. He was one of the first Japanese botanists to integrate western knowledge into his research, expanding the horizons of Japanese botany. The Crimson Camellia, depicted in its full glory in this engraving, is a testament to Iwasaki's meticulous attention to detail and his deep understanding of the natural world. The vibrant crimson hue of the Camellia's petals is a striking contrast against the delicate, intricate veining that adorns each petal's surface. The full, double-layered form of the flower is beautifully rendered, with each petal's edge delicately curled and each stamen intricately detailed. This engraving is not only a stunning work of art but also an invaluable historical document. It offers a glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of Japan during a time when traditional knowledge was being integrated with Western scientific discoveries. Iwasaki's Honzo Zufu remains an essential resource for botanical studies, providing a comprehensive record of medicinal plants and their uses in Japan during the late Edo period.
