Misebaya, or Showy Stonecrop (Hylotelephium sieboldii), is a captivating and vibrant plant that has been admired for its beauty in Japan for centuries. This exquisite handcolored woodblock print by Kono Bairei, titled "Misebaya" from "Kusa Bana Hyakushu" (One Hundred Varieties of Flowers), published in Tokyo by Yamada in 1901, showcases the plant's stunning features in intricate detail. The Misebaya, also known as the Showy Stonecrop, is a low-growing perennial that forms dense mats of rosettes, each adorned with fleshy, succulent leaves that are covered in fine white hairs. The plant's star-shaped, five-petaled flowers bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white, and appear in abundance in late summer. This botanical masterpiece by Kono Bairei captures the essence of the Misebaya's allure, with its delicate, hand-painted colors and meticulous attention to detail. The artist's skillful use of shading and texture brings the plant to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies and charm. The Misebaya has a rich history in Japanese culture, with its distinctive beauty making it a popular subject for artists and gardeners alike. This woodblock print serves as a testament to the plant's enduring appeal, and offers a glimpse into the botanical wonders of Japan's past. As we admire the intricacies of this handcolored woodblock print, we are transported back in time, to a world where the natural world was celebrated for its beauty and wonder. The Misebaya, with its showy blooms and captivating presence, continues to inspire awe and delight, both in Japan and beyond.
