Short Nap on a Long Summer Day, late 18th-early 19th century. Creator: Beisanjin Okada (Japanese

Short Nap on a Long Summer Day, late 18th-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

Short Nap on a Long Summer Day, late 18th-early 19th century

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 18th-early 19th century in Japan, where Beisanjin Okada, a renowned Japanese artist of the time, created this masterpiece. The painting belongs to the Nanga school of painters who were greatly influenced by Chinese culture during that period. The Nanga artists embraced Chinese aesthetics and incorporated them into their works as a reflection of Japan's fascination with imported Chinese objects and knowledge. This particular piece showcases their skillful use of ink and light color on ivory silk, capturing the essence of a long summer day. One interesting aspect about Nanga painters was their tradition of exchanging small paintings and calligraphies among themselves. They also celebrated special gatherings by creating individual sheets that would later be compiled into albums. The sheets featured in this print are part of such an artistic gathering. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a window into history—a glimpse into the Edo period (1615-1868) when Japanese art flourished under various influences. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, these delicate brushstrokes transport us to another era filled with tranquility and contemplation—a short nap amidst the warmth of a long summer day.
