EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Crimson Japanese mountain camellia, or Yama tsubaki (Thea japonica Nois. Forma), a beloved plant in Japanese culture and traditional medicine. The engraving is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making significant contributions to the field of botany in Japan. The image is taken from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in 1884. The meticulously detailed engraving captures the rich, crimson hue of the camellia's petals, which contrasts beautifully with the delicate, intricate veining on the leaves. The mountainous terrain in the background adds to the sense of serenity and tranquility often associated with this plant. Camellias are native to East Asia, and the Yama tsubaki variety is particularly prized for its hardiness and ability to thrive in mountainous regions. In Japan, the Crimson Japanese mountain camellia has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including colds, fevers, and digestive issues. The plant's leaves and flowers are both used for medicinal purposes. This woodblock engraving not only showcases the beauty and significance of the Crimson Japanese mountain camellia in Japanese culture and botanical history but also highlights the exceptional skill and artistry of Kan en Iwasaki as a botanical illustrator.
