EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the crimson bloom of the Daiwa Sangai, also known as Thea Japonica Nois or the Japanese Camellia. The image is a testament to the artistic and scientific prowess of Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan En Iwasaki. Created in 1884 as part of his illustrated guide to medicinal plants, Honzo Zufu, this masterpiece captures the intricate details of the crimson camellia's petals, veins, and stamen. Iwasaki's groundbreaking work bridged the gap between traditional Japanese botanical knowledge and the emerging western scientific methods. Iwasaki's expertise in botany was exceptional, making him one of the first Japanese botanists to incorporate western knowledge into his studies. His meticulous illustrations, like this one, were produced using the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique. The vibrant colors were achieved through the application of natural dyes, making each print a unique work of art. The crimson camellia, with its elegant and showy blooms, has long been a symbol of beauty and refinement in Japanese culture. It is also known for its medicinal properties, as documented in Iwasaki's Honzo Zufu. The camellia's leaves and flowers have been used in traditional Japanese medicine to treat various ailments, including colds, fevers, and digestive issues. This image of the crimson camellia not only showcases the beauty of this iconic plant but also highlights the rich history of Japanese botanical art and scientific exploration.
