This botanical masterpiece is an illustration from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in Japan in 1884. The work was created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneer in the integration of Western scientific knowledge into Japanese botanical studies. His meticulous work in Honzo Zufu reflects his dedication to documenting the diverse flora of Japan, with a particular focus on medicinal plants. This stunning image of the Pink and White Striped Camellias is a testament to his commitment and the artistic skill of the woodblock printers of the time. The Pink and White Striped Camellias, Tamagawa and Imadegawa, are varieties of the Camellia japonica species, native to Japan. The vibrant pink and white petals, adorned with striking stripes, create a visually stunning display. This botanical treasure is not only a feast for the eyes but also holds significance in Japanese culture, as the camellia flower is considered a symbol of longevity and perseverance. This color-printed woodblock engraving is a captivating window into the rich history of Japanese botanical studies and the artistic mastery of the woodblock printing technique during the late Edo period. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the beauty of these camellias to life, making it an essential addition to any botanical or historical collection.
