EDITORS COMMENTS
Amadokoro, or Solomons seal (Polygonatum odoratum), is a beautiful and elegant flowering plant native to Eastern Asia, specifically Japan, Korea, and China. This exquisite handcolored woodblock print by Kono Bairei, titled "Amadokoro" from "Kusa Bana Hyakushu" (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), captures the essence of this enchanting plant in all its splendor. Produced in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901, this woodblock print showcases the intricate details of the Amadokoro, with its slender, nodding white flowers adorning tall, tubular stems. The delicate petals, dotted with specks of color, unfurl gracefully, framed by the lush green foliage. The history of Amadokoro in Japan dates back to ancient times, with records of its medicinal properties and use in traditional Japanese gardens. The plant's name, Amadokoro, is derived from the Japanese words "ama" (meaning "divine") and "dokoro" (meaning "place"), reflecting the reverence held for this plant in Japanese culture. The art of woodblock printing, a traditional Japanese technique, was used to create this stunning work of art. Each color was meticulously applied by skilled artisans, resulting in a vibrant and detailed representation of the Amadokoro. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic mastery of Japan during the Meiji period. The Amadokoro continues to be a beloved plant in gardens around the world, and this beautiful woodblock print serves as a reminder of its timeless beauty and historical significance.
