DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →La flore du Japon exerce, depuis plus de deux siècles, une grande fascination sur les horticulteurs et les jardiniers européens : hortensias, hostas, azalées, camélias, glycines, érables japonais et lys orientaux, pour ne citer que quelques plantes, sont tous issus de cet archipel. Cet intérêt a engendré depuis le XIXe siècles de nombreux échanges entre botanistes japonais et occidentaux, et conduit à la naissance, au Japon, de l'art de l'illustration botanique. La première partie du livre est consacrée à son histoire depuis les premiers échanges avec les botanistes européens. La seconde partie du livre présente 80 planches botaniques de plantes sauvages japonaises, commandées pour cet ouvrage auprès de 35 des meilleurs artistes japonais contemporains. Ils rendent un vibrant hommage à cette flore d'une richesse incomparable et montrent l'influence des plantes japonaises sur les jardins occidentaux. Chaque dessin s'accompagne d'un texte sur l'histoire et l'origine de la plante ainsi que de sa description botanique.
