A stunning showcase of 120 full-color plates, this specially chosen collection features beautiful Eastern and Western botanicals that will delight flower lovers, artists, designers, and devotees of fine art. Admire such familiar and unusual blossoms as the poppy, rose, anemone, cyclamen, delphinium, water lily, lupine, passion flower, allamanda, phlox, dahlia, petunia, tulip, freesia, pansy, begonia, and many more beautiful blooms!
Tanigami Kônan (1879–1928) was a genius at the art of woodblock creation and color gradation, and he is still celebrated as one of the finest artists of this highly specialized technique. Captions and a complete index are included in this distinct keepsake edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009
Verified Purchase
Konan's images of flowers are wonderful, accurate in detail but artistic in feeling, and each one in this book is a delight to linger over. Interest in the "outside world" was high in early 20th Century Japan. Tanigami Konan was a renowned artist who, in 1917, began to produce a series of prints to illustrate varieties of exotic flowers, especially those of the Western world, in a traditional Japanese format. The prints were received with great enthusiasm and acclaim, and they're still sought after by collectors. Leave it to Dover Books, one of the best in the business, to offer such a modestly-priced book with so many beautiful reproductions of Konan's prints. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for a gift. It's perfectly lovely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012

I associate most Japanese woodblock prints with artists like Hiroshige who concentrated on landscapes, street scenes and figures. This is the first book I've seen on the subject of flowers and they are breathtaking; striking composition and colors. A true inspiration for floral artists. The reproduction is excellent; the paper is thick and the colors are true. A real bargain.

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous floral images, all by the same artist. My sister is an artist so I sent her one and she liked it, too.

Gorgeous plates--except they seem washed out, not saturated like the small samples on the front and back covers. Perhaps it was the end of the press run, and I am very happy with the detail, but was disappointed in the plates' pale-ness. Too bad.

Reviewed in Canada on November 16, 2019

They are reproductions of old work so I should be forgiving but I found it a bit dull. Then I took a really good look. The combinations of plants is interesting and after all it was woodblock—amazing actually
I realized I needed to slow down and not compare it to something on a screen.
I loved the poppy and the botanical tulip and there are also fancy tulips and houseplants
