EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases the intricate rhizome and roots of Curcuma longa, better known as turmeric. The vibrant color representation of this engraving is a testament to the meticulous artistry of Japanese botanist, Kan en Iwasaki. Created in 1884 for Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants, this image offers a rare glimpse into the historical significance of turmeric in Japanese botanical studies. Turmeric, a member of the Zingiberaceae family, is an aromatic herb and spice native to South Asia. Its bright orange-yellow rhizome is widely used in traditional medicine and cooking for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Iwasaki's dedication to documenting the medicinal plants of Japan, combined with his innovative approach to incorporating Western knowledge, positioned him as a pioneering figure in Japanese botany. The intricate detail in this woodblock engraving highlights the complex network of turmeric's roots, which play a crucial role in the plant's growth and propagation. The delicate interplay of lines and colors creates a visually stunning representation of this essential plant, offering a captivating glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and medicinal plant research in Japan during the late 19th century.
