EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving, titled "Shinshintei School of Ikebana: Camellia and Tsubaki," showcases the refined art of Japanese flower arrangement from the 19th century Edo era. The image features an elegant arrangement of camellia and tsubaki (Japanese camellia) flowers, accompanied by arum maculatum (lords and ladies) and various leaves. The intricate design is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and harmony that characterizes the traditional Japanese practice of ikebana, or the way of arranging flowers. The arrangement is displayed in a simple yet elegant bowl, with a tall vase and a stand, creating a sense of balance and harmony. The Shinshintei School of Ikebana was one of the leading schools of Japanese flower arrangement during the Edo period. This particular arrangement demonstrates the school's emphasis on naturalism, with the flowers and leaves arranged in a way that mimics their growth in nature. The handcoloured woodblock engraving technique, known as hanga, was a popular method of printmaking in Japan during the Edo period. The intricate details of the flowers and leaves are beautifully rendered, with each petal and leaf delicately outlined and filled in with colour. The use of camellia and tsubaki in this arrangement is significant, as these flowers are considered symbols of longevity and prosperity in Japanese culture. The arrangement would have been a cherished possession, displayed in the home of a wealthy patron or nobleman as a symbol of status and refinement.
