EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving showcases the vibrant and intricately textured leaves of round China cardamom, Amomum globosum Lour, as depicted in Honzo Zufu, an Illustrated Guide to Medicinal Plants published in 1884. The engraving is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, Kan en Iwasaki (1786-1842). Iwasaki was a pioneer in incorporating Western knowledge into his studies, expanding the horizons of Japanese botanical research. The round China cardamom, also known as sau zuku in Japanese, is native to Southeast Asia and is widely used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. The plant's leaves are characterized by their glossy, green surface and their round, slightly lobed shape. In this stunning engraving, the delicate veins and intricate surface details of the leaves are expertly captured, revealing their beauty and complexity. The color print, produced using the traditional woodblock engraving technique, showcases the rich, natural colors of the leaves, bringing their essence to life. The meticulous attention to detail and the exquisite use of color make this engraving a remarkable work of art, as well as an invaluable record of the medicinal plants of the time. Iwasaki's Honzo Zufu was a groundbreaking publication, featuring over 1,100 plant species, and this engraving is a testament to his dedication to documenting the natural world. The image not only serves as a visual representation of the round China cardamom leaves but also as a window into the rich history of Japanese botanical research and the artistic achievements of the past.
