EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Japanese star anise, Illicium anisatum, a native tree of China, Japan, and Korea. The intricately detailed illustration, derived from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, showcases the unique features of this botanical beauty. Japanese star anise, also known as shikimi, is renowned for its distinctive, star-shaped fruit, which resembles the aniseed used in European cooking. However, it is important to note that the Japanese star anise is not the same as the true anise, Pimpinella anisum. The tree of Japanese star anise is an evergreen, reaching up to 15 meters in height. Its leaves are lanceolate, glossy, and dark green. The tree is considered sacred in Japan and is used extensively in traditional medicine and culinary practices. The fruit of the Japanese star anise is the source of its medicinal properties. It contains anethole, the same compound found in anise and fennel, which gives these plants their characteristic licorice-like flavor. However, Japanese star anise also contains shikimic acid, a toxin that can be poisonous in large quantities. In traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, Japanese star anise is used to treat various ailments, including digestive issues, respiratory problems, and fevers. It is also used as an ingredient in incense and perfumes for its pleasant aroma. This stunning chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, providing a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Japanese star anise.
