Description: Painters as Envoys: Korean Inspiration in Eighteenth-Century Japanese Nanga
BOOKPainters as Envoys: Korean Inspiration in Eighteenth-Century Japanese Nanga
Burglind Jungmann
Stable URL: https://aaeportal.com/?id=-23796
It is well known that Japanese literati painting of the eighteenth century was inspired by Chinese styles that found their way to Japan through trade relations. However, because Japanese and American art historians have focused on Japanese-Chinese ties, the fact that Japan also maintained important diplomatic—and aesthetic—relations with Korea during the same period has long been neglected. This important book examines the role of Korean embassies in shaping the new Japanese literati style, known as Nanga in Japan.

Burglind Jungmann describes the eighteenth-century Korean-Japanese diplomatic exchange and the circumstances under which Korean and Japanese painters met. Since diplomatic relations were conducted on both sides by scholars with a classical Chinese education, Korean envoys and their Japanese hosts shared a deep interest in Chinese philosophy, literature, calligraphy, and painting. Texts, such as Ike Taiga's letter to Kim Yusöng and Gion Nankai's poem for Yi Hyön, and accounts by Korean and Japanese diplomats, give a vivid picture of the interaction between Korean and Japanese painters and envoys. Further, the paintings done by Korean painters during their sojourns in Japan attest to the transmission of a distinctly Korean literati style, called Namjonghwa. By comparing Korean, Japanese, and Chinese paintings, the author shows how the Korean interpretation of Chinese styles influenced Japanese literati painters and helped inspire the creation of their new style.

~Since I started this research a decade and a half ago its conditions have changed significantly. First of all, there is a greater interest in Korean art and in the role it might have played in the history of East Asian art as a whole. Although in the 1980s scholars of Japanese history and literature became increasingly engaged in research on the exchange between...

~In the course of my investigation into the Korean influence on Nanga, I came upon a source that, to my own surprise, was evidently not contemporary eighteenth-century Korean Namjonghwa, but rather an older Korean tradition that seems to have appeared in Japanese painting long before the development of Nanga. Our investigation of Gion Nankai’s works in the...

~Having gained an idea of Ike Taiga’s interaction with the Korean embassies of 1748 and 1764, and of the contemporary Korean style, we may now ask to what degree exposure to the work of Korean artists influenced the development of Taiga’s own painting style.
