EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print, titled "Mexican Aster and Toad" is a beautiful example of the Japanese tradition of Kusa Bana Hyakushu, or "One Hundred Varieties of Flowers." Created in 1901 by the renowned artist Kono Bairei, this print showcases two fascinating and distinct plants native to Mexico: the Mexican aster, Cosmos bipinnatus, and the toad lily, Tricyrtis hirta. The Mexican aster, with its vibrant pink petals and feathery white bracts, is a beloved garden flower known for its daisy-like blooms and ability to thrive in various climates. The toad lily, on the other hand, is a unique and intriguing plant with its distinctive, nodding, purple-spotted, white flowers that resemble toads. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors are a testament to the masterful artistry of Kono Bairei and the Japanese woodblock printing technique. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate veining on the leaves of the Mexican aster and the intricate patterns on the toad lily's petals. The presence of the toad in the print adds an element of whimsy and delight, as if to remind us that even the most ordinary creatures can be beautiful and fascinating in their own right. This print is not only a stunning work of art but also a historical document, providing a glimpse into the botanical explorations and artistic traditions of Japan during the early 20th century. The Mexican aster and toad lily are just two of the many fascinating plants captured in Kusa Bana Hyakushu, a series that showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world through the lens of Japanese art and culture.
