EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving showcases the Scarlet Camellia, Kara Tsubaki, or Thea Japonica (Camellia japonica 'Nigra Plena'), as depicted in Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants published in 1884. The print, created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist Kan En Iwasaki (1786-1842), represents a significant fusion of Western and Eastern botanical knowledge. Iwasaki was a pioneering figure in Japanese botany, integrating Western scientific methods into his studies, and this print is a testament to his innovative approach. The Scarlet Camellia, with its vibrant, semi-double, scarlet-red flowers, is depicted in meticulous detail, revealing its intricate petals, veins, and stamens. The botanical name, Thea Japonica, is inscribed in the print, reflecting the European influence on Japanese botanical nomenclature at the time. The woodblock engraving technique, a traditional Japanese art form, adds an exquisite layer of detail and texture to the image. The use of color further enhances the print's allure, making the Scarlet Camellia's petals appear as if they are bursting with life. This stunning print not only showcases the beauty of the Scarlet Camellia but also highlights the rich history of Japanese botanical exploration and the fusion of Eastern and Western scientific knowledge during the late Edo period. Iwasaki's work in Honzo Zufu paved the way for future botanical discoveries and continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world.
