This exquisite handcolored woodblock print by Kono Bairei, titled "Kouka" from "Kusa Bana Hyakushu" (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), showcases the intricacies of this remarkable root.

This print, produced in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Kouka and the artistry of woodblock printing. The botanical accuracy of the print is a testament to the skill and expertise of Kono Bairei, a master woodblock printer of his time.
