This book tells the story of banker Shotaro Kaga and orchid grower Kenkichi Goto whose pioneering orchid breeding programme in the early 20th century started a horticultural craze in Japan that continues to this day. To illustrate the beauty of his plants Kaga turned to gifted watercolourist Zuigetsu Ikeda and many talented woodblock artisans to create a stunning artistic legacy. First published in 1946, this print collection was titled Rankafu (Orchid Print Album). The Rankafu prints are now considered masterworks of botanical art
