EDITORS COMMENTS
This color-printed woodblock engraving showcases the inflorescence and rhizome of round turmeric, Curcuma rotunda, a plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. The intricate detail of the image, created by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki, is a testament to his exceptional skill and the advanced techniques of woodblock printing during the late Edo period. Curcuma rotunda, also known as Chinese or Indian turmeric, is native to Southeast Asia and is widely used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties. The rhizome, or root, of the plant is the primary source of turmeric's active compounds, including curcumin, which has gained international recognition for its potential health benefits. The vibrant pink inflorescence, or flower cluster, is depicted in full bloom, revealing its delicate beauty and intricate structure. The rhizome, with its knobby surface and fleshy texture, is shown in cross-section, revealing the concentric layers within. This detailed representation is an essential contribution to Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, which was one of the first comprehensive works on medicinal plants in Japan to incorporate Western knowledge. Iwasaki's meticulous work not only showcases the botanical beauty of Curcuma rotunda but also highlights the rich cultural exchange between the East and the West during the late 19th century. This exquisite woodblock engraving is a valuable historical artifact that continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the natural world and the scientific discoveries of the past.
