"A Japanese Imploring A Divinity" is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, created in 1880. The painting is a fine example of Gérôme's academic style and Orientalist subject matter, which was popular among European artists and audiences in the 19th century. The work depicts a Japanese woman in traditional attire, kneeling and seemingly in prayer before a Shinto shrine, a testament to Gérôme's fascination with the exotic and the spiritual practices of the East.

Gérôme, known for his meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, may have relied on second-hand sources such as Japanese woodblock prints, photographs, and artifacts to compose this scene, as he is not known to have visited Japan himself. The painting reflects the Western interest in and often romanticized view of Japanese culture during the Meiji Restoration, a period when Japan was opening up to foreign influence after centuries of relative isolation.

The artwork is characteristic of Gérôme's polished technique and his ability to render textures and surfaces with great precision. It is also indicative of the period's attitudes and interpretations of other cultures, which were often filtered through a colonial lens. "A Japanese Imploring A Divinity" is part of Gérôme's broader body of work that contributed to the Orientalist movement in European art, which has since been both celebrated for its artistic achievements and critiqued for its cultural representations.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited and studied in the context of Gérôme's oeuvre and the wider Orientalist movement in art. As with many of Gérôme's works, "A Japanese Imploring A Divinity" continues to be of interest to art historians and critics for its technical mastery and its place within the complex legacy of Orientalism in Western art.
