Japanese indigenous plants have fascinated botanists and
horticulturalists for the past two centuries, and their discoveries
still have a strong influence on the plants of today. Botanists
such as Kaempfer, Thunberg, von Siebold, and Maximowicz visited
Japan between the 17th and 19th centuries, and communicated and
corresponded with many Japanese botanists; identifying, naming and
classifying many native plants and sending specimens around the
world. Many beautiful Japanese plants (e.g. Hydrangea, Lily, Hosta,
Camellia) were introduced into European countries, influencing
horticulture and the breeding of new varieties. And as a result,
this interest in Japanese flora led to a stimulation of activity
amongst botanical painters in Japan in depicting the native flora.
Flora Japonica is a beautiful celebration of modern Japanese
botanical art, featuring 80 specially commissioned botanical
paintings of Japanese wild plants, contributed by 30 of the
country's best contemporary artists. Each paintings is accompanied
by text about the plant, including its natural history as well as
botanical description and details of the specimen origin.
Biographies of all 30 artists are included.
