EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print, titled "Chinese Trumpet Vine and Lyreleaf Nightshade" (Nouzenkazura, Chinese Trumpet Vine, and Hakuei, Lyreleaf Nightshade), is a beautiful example of the Japanese woodcut art form from the early 20th century. Created by the renowned artist Kono Bairei as part of the series "One Hundred Varieties of Flowers" (Kusa Bana Hyakushu), published by Yamada in Tokyo in 1901, this print showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these two distinctive plants. The Chinese Trumpet Vine (Campsis grandiflora), also known as Nouzenkazura in Japanese, is a climbing plant with trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of orange, red, and yellow. The Lyreleaf Nightshade (Solanum lyratum), or Hakuei, is a herbaceous plant with distinctive lyre-shaped leaves and small white flowers. The artistry of this woodblock print is evident in the delicate rendering of the Chinese Trumpet Vine's twisting vines and the intricate veining on the Lyreleaf Nightshade's leaves. The use of handcoloring adds depth and richness to the print, bringing the flowers to life. This historical botanical print not only showcases the beauty of these two plants but also provides a glimpse into the cultural appreciation of nature and the art of woodblock printing in Japan during the early 1900s. The intricate details and vibrant colors make this a stunning addition to any botanical or art collection.
