EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored woodblock print showcases the delicate beauty of Creeping Saxifrage, Saxifraga stolonifera, as captured by the skilled brush of Kono Bairei in 1901. Part of the renowned series Kusa Bana Hyakushu, or One Hundred Varieties of Flowers, this botanical masterpiece was published by Yamada in Tokyo. Creeping Saxifrage, also known as Yukinoshita in Japanese, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial that boasts small, rosette-like clusters of leaves and star-shaped, pink or white flowers. The plant's creeping stems root at the nodes, allowing it to spread and form dense mats, earning it the common name 'creeping saxifrage.' The intricate details of the plant's foliage and flowers are rendered with exceptional precision and artistry in this woodblock print. The delicate pink hues of the blossoms contrast beautifully against the deep greens of the leaves, while the intricate veining and texture of each petal are expertly depicted. This historical Japanese woodcut not only serves as a stunning visual representation of the Creeping Saxifrage but also provides a glimpse into the rich botanical heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the early 20th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of natural dyes and pigments in the handcoloring process further enhance the print's allure, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or art collection.
