EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock engraving, titled "Guide to the Vocabulary of Japanese Flower Arranging" or "Ikebana Ryu Meisho" in Japanese, is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the world of traditional Japanese flower arranging, or ikebana, during the 19th century Edo period. The engraving is a part of the Shinshintei school of ikebana, one of the oldest and most respected styles of this ancient art form. The image showcases various tools and elements used in ikebana, including a needle, vase, and bowl, as well as several types of flowers and branches. The flowers depicted include pine (matsu), plum (ume), and camellia (tsubaki), which are all significant in Japanese culture and are commonly used in ikebana arrangements. The use of handcoloured woodblock engraving adds an extra layer of beauty and detail to the print, making each element stand out and creating a visually stunning composition. The intricate designs and precise placement of the various elements demonstrate the skill and artistry required to create a beautiful ikebana arrangement. The woodcut technique used to create this print was a popular method for producing high-quality images during the Edo period. The process involved carving the design into a block of wood, inking it, and then pressing the ink onto paper to create the final image. The result is a detailed and vibrant print that has stood the test of time. This print provides a valuable insight into the world of ikebana and the importance of nature and artistry in Japanese culture during the 19th century. It is a beautiful and intriguing piece of art and history that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
