EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color-printed woodblock engraving depicts the vibrant Scarlet Japanese mountain camellias, or Yama tsubaki (Thea japonica Nois. Forma), a beautiful and symbolic plant in Japanese culture. The engraving is the work of Kan en 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. The illustration is taken from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in 1884. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the scarlet blooms of the Yama tsubaki, which are known for their resilience and ability to thrive in mountainous regions. The plant's rich, velvety petals and glossy green leaves are brought to life through the intricate woodblock printing technique. The Scarlet Japanese mountain camellia holds significant cultural importance in Japan. It is believed that the camellia's scarlet blossoms represent the sun, and the plant is often associated with the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, who is believed to have brought the sun to the world. The Yama tsubaki is also celebrated for its medicinal properties, as its leaves and flowers have been used in traditional Japanese medicine for centuries to treat various ailments. This exquisite woodblock engraving not only serves as a testament to Iwasaki's mastery of botanical illustration but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of Japanese botany and cultural traditions.
