Poem, early 19th century. Creator: Sanyo Rai (Japanese, 1780-1832)
Poem, early 19th century. The Nanga, or " Southern School" painters of 17th- and 18th-century Japan were greatly influenced by Chinese culture. The subjects and styles of their work reflected the contemporary Japanese taste for imported Chinese objects and learning. A common practice among Nanga painters was the exchange of small paintings and calligraphies. They also celebrated special gatherings of artist-friends by producing individual sheets that were then gathered together in albums. The sheets shown here were part of such a gathering

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautiful poem created by Sanyo Rai, a renowned Japanese artist from the early 19th century. Known for his affiliation with the Nanga or "Southern School" painters, Rai's work reflects the strong influence of Chinese culture on Japanese art during this period. The Nanga painters were deeply inspired by imported Chinese objects and learning, which is evident in their choice of subjects and artistic styles. The practice of exchanging small paintings and calligraphies was common among Nanga artists, who also celebrated special gatherings with their fellow artist-friends by creating individual sheets that were later compiled into albums. The sheets featured in this print are part of one such gathering, showcasing the talent and creativity of these esteemed artists. Executed on buff paper using ink, this particular album leaf exemplifies Sanyo Rai's mastery over traditional Japanese painting techniques. With delicate brushstrokes and intricate details, he brings to life a poetic scene that captivates viewers' imaginations. Preserved within the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Japan's rich artistic heritage during the Edo period (1615-1868). It serves as a testament to Sanyo Rai's skill as an artist and his contribution to the legacy of Japanese artistry.
