Camellia Flore Forma Guide Honzo Iwasaki Japonica Kanen Medicinal Pleno Thea Woodblock Zufu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color-printed woodblock engraving depicts the exquisite White Camellia, Yokoe Haku, or Thea Japonica Flore Pleno Forma. Created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan En Iwasaki, this beautiful artwork is taken from his comprehensive illustrated guide to medicinal plants, titled Honzo Zufu, published in 1884. Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making him one of the first Japanese botanists to bridge the gap between traditional and modern botanical practices. The White Camellia, a symbol of purity and elegance in Japanese culture, is showcased here in its fully double-petaled form, a rare and desirable variation. The intricate details of the camellia's delicate white petals and green leaves are expertly captured in this meticulously crafted print. The vibrant colors and delicate shading bring the flower to life, making it a true work of art. The botanical name, Thea Japonica, reflects the plant's native origins in Japan, while the term "flore pleno" indicates the presence of a fully double flower. This print not only serves as a testament to Iwasaki's exceptional botanical skills but also highlights the rich history of Japanese botanical illustration. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and importance of medicinal plants in Japanese culture and science.
