Botanical art of the Edo period.

This visual book is a selection of the best from the Edo period's natural history atlas, with a wide variety of natural objects as its theme. It features around 180 illustrations of fragrant flowers in full color. Its charming hardcover binding in paperback size is also appealing. Along with text explaining the origins of the common names, flowering periods, and the benefits of using them as medicinal herbs, the gorgeous yet somewhat ephemeral beauty of Japan emerges.
