"Nap" (Hirune) depicts a figure in the particular quality of daytime sleep — the relaxed, defenseless state of a body that has surrendered to afternoon rest. In [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga), the sleeping or resting figure is among the most intimate of subjects: the woman unguarded, her face at rest, the composed self-presentation of the waking hours dissolved into naturalness. Binnie brings to this subject the attentiveness of his training in traditional printmaking, rendering the figure with the precision and warmth the subject demands.
