EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color-printed woodblock engraving depicts the full plant of the Large-leaved Angelica (Angelica dahurica), as illustrated in Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in Japan in 1884. The meticulously detailed engraving captures every aspect of the plant, from its extensive root clump and sturdy stem, to its large, glossy leaves, and the delicate white florets that form its umbels. The artist of this exquisite work was Kan En Iwasaki (1786-1842), a renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist. Iwasaki was one of the first Japanese scholars to incorporate Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making him a pioneer in the field of Japanese botany. His extensive work on medicinal plants, including this illustration of the Large-leaved Angelica, showcases his deep understanding of both traditional Japanese herbal medicine and the emerging Western scientific methods. The Large-leaved Angelica, also known as Ooba or Senkyou, is a perennial herb native to Eastern Asia. Its large, aromatic leaves and edible roots have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. The plant's beautiful white flowers bloom in umbels, adding to its ornamental value. This woodblock engraving is not only a testament to Iwasaki's artistic skill but also a valuable historical record of the Large-leaved Angelica and its traditional uses in Japanese medicine. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the plant to life, making it a captivating addition to any botanical collection.
