EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving, titled "White Camellias: Kagiri and Monokaha, Thea japonica Nois. flore semipleno forma," is a stunning example of Japanese botanical art from the late 19th century. The image was created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kanen Iwasaki, as part of his illustrated guide to medicinal plants, Honzo Zufu, published in 1884. Iwasaki (1786-1842) was a pioneering figure in the integration of Western scientific knowledge into Japanese botanical studies. The engraving depicts two varieties of camellias, Kagiri and Monokaha, both belonging to the Thea japonica species. The flowers are shown in their semi-double form, with petals arranged in a captivating symmetrical pattern. The delicate white petals are adorned with intricate veining and a subtle blush of pink at the edges. The engraving's vibrant colors and intricate details beautifully capture the essence of these elegant flowers. Iwasaki's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurate representation are evident in this exquisite work of art. His groundbreaking studies and publications, such as Honzo Zufu, played a significant role in advancing the field of botany in Japan and bridging the gap between Eastern and Western scientific traditions.
