EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases the rhizome and pink inflorescence of turmeric, Curcuma longa L. var. macrophylla Miq., a plant belonging to the Zingiberacea family. The intricately detailed image is the work of Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki. Created in 1884 as part of Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, this print represents Iwasaki's groundbreaking efforts to integrate Western scientific knowledge into Japanese botanical studies. Iwasaki's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the vibrant coloration of the rhizome, which is depicted with its characteristic orange-yellow hue, and the delicate pink inflorescence that blooms above. The rhizome of turmeric, a vital component in traditional Asian and Ayurvedic medicine, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The woodblock engraving process involved carving the design into a wooden block, which was then inked and pressed onto paper, resulting in the stunning, high-definition image we see today. Iwasaki's expertise and dedication to botanical illustration are evident in the accuracy and beauty of this print, which remains an invaluable historical record of the medicinal plants of Japan.
