Taisei (Big Blue) - Taisei (English spelling) Chinese indigo

Japanese: タイセイ(大青) - タイセイ(英語表記)Chinese indigo
Taisei (Big Blue) - Taisei (English spelling) Chinese indigo
A perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family native to China, known as Jiangnan daqing, contains indigo and was apparently used as a dye along with indigo. It was introduced from China during the Edo period and planted in Koishikawa Botanical Garden, which was a shogunate botanical garden. Nearly 30 species of the Isatis genus have been reported from Asia, Europe, and Africa, but it is a difficult group to classify and there seems to still be a great deal of confusion. I. tinctoria L. (dyer's-woad) is a biennial plant native to Europe and Southwest Asia and, like Isatis, was used as a dye.

中国原産の多年生のアブラナ科植物で,江南大青(こうなんたいせい)と呼ばれ,インジゴを含み,アイとともに染料に用いられたようである。江戸時代に中国から渡来して,幕府の薬園であった小石川植物園に植えられたという。タイセイ属Isatisはアジア,ヨーロッパ,アフリカから30種近くが報告されているが,分類のむずかしい仲間で,まだかなり混乱があるようである。 ホソバタイセイI.tinctoria L.(英名dyer’s‐woad)はヨーロッパや西南アジア原産の越年草で,タイセイと同様,染料に用いられた。
