EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite color-printed woodblock engraving depicts the White Japanese Camellia, Shirotahe (Thea japonica Nois. flore semipleno forma), a beautiful and iconic flower native to Japan. The engraving is the work of Kan en Iwasaki, a renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, born in 1786. Iwasaki was one of the first Japanese scholars to incorporate Western knowledge into his studies, making significant contributions to the field of botany. The image is taken from Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in 1884. Iwasaki meticulously documented various medicinal plants and their uses, creating a comprehensive record of Japan's natural resources. In this print, the White Japanese Camellia is depicted in all its splendor, with its delicate, snow-white petals unfurling around a dark center, and its vibrant green leaves. The White Japanese Camellia, also known as Shirotahe, has been a cherished symbol of Japan for centuries. Its beauty and resilience have made it a popular subject for artists and poets, while its medicinal properties have been utilized in traditional Japanese medicine. The plant is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and has been used to treat various ailments, including colds, fevers, and skin conditions. This stunning woodblock engraving provides a glimpse into Japan's rich botanical heritage and the groundbreaking work of one of its most influential scholars. It is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting its wonders.
