EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print showcases the vibrant yellow flowers and leaves of Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric. The plant is a member of the Zingiberaceae family and is renowned for its aromatic rhizomes, which are widely used as a spice and medicinal herb. This beautiful illustration is part of Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, published in Japan in 1884. The guide was created by the distinguished Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kanen Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western scientific knowledge into his studies, making him one of the first Japanese botanists to do so. This color-printed woodblock engraving captures the intricate details of the turmeric plant's foliage and blooms with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The print's rich colors and intricate design serve not only as a visual representation of the plant but also as a testament to the skill and artistry of the woodblock printmakers of the time. Iwasaki's Honzo Zufu remains an important historical document in the field of Japanese botanical studies, providing a detailed record of the medicinal plants known in Japan during the late Edo period.
