EDITORS COMMENTS
Kouka, also known as Kujin or Sophora flavescens, is a prominent plant in Chinese traditional medicine and botanical gardens around the world. This exquisite handcolored woodblock print by Kono Bairei, titled "Kouka" from "Kusa Bana Hyakushu" (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), showcases the intricacies of this remarkable root. Originating in China, Kouka has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in the formulation of the renowned herbal remedy, Kushen. The plant's root is believed to have various therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and diuretic effects. The intricate details of the Kouka root are beautifully captured in this woodblock print, with its twisted, fibrous structure and vibrant yellow hue. The delicate hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and dimension to the print, highlighting the intricacies of the plant's texture and form. The history of Kouka extends beyond its medicinal uses. In Japan, the plant was highly valued for its ornamental qualities and was often featured in gardens and woodblock prints. This print, produced in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Kouka and the artistry of woodblock printing. The botanical accuracy of the print is a testament to the skill and expertise of Kono Bairei, a master woodblock printer of his time. The intricacies of the Kouka root are rendered with remarkable precision, making this print a valuable addition to any botanical or art collection.
