# Matsumura Goshun

**Matsumura Goshun** (jap. 松村 呉春; April 28, 1752 (traditional: Hōreki 2/3/15)  September 4, 1811 (traditional: Bunka 8/7/17)), sometimes also referred to as Matsumura Gekkei (松村 月渓), was a Japanese painter of the Edo period and founder of the Shijō school of painting. He was a disciple of the painter and poet Yosa Buson (1716–1784), a master of Japanese southern school painting.

## Life

Goshun was born into a wealthy family of government officials working in the royal mint (jap. *kinza* 金座) as the oldest of six children. His parents wished him to be well educated in the basics of Chinese and Japanese culture and had him tutored in skills such as classical history and literature, calligraphy and painting as well as writing poetry. Thus he began his education as a painter very early. In those years his masters were painters of the nanga-style, learned scholars of the literati-traditions that had come over from China, among them Yosa Buson (1716–1784) who taught Goshun among other things literati-painting and haiku-poetry.

He wasn't immediately successful as a painter but managed to support himself with the aid of Buson, who arranged him to be an advisor on literature for wealthy provincials. In 1781 his career took a turn for the worse when both his wife and his father died and his mentor Buson, himself nearing death was apparently no longer able to support him. As a result of that he left his residence in the Shijō-district of Kyōto and moved to Ikeda near Ōsaka. During his time in Ikeda he continued to paint in Busons Literati-style yet was not successful enough to support himself with his painting alone.

By 1787 it was certain that he would have to join up with another band of painters, so he worked with the circle of painters around Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795) to work at the screen-doors of the Daijō-ji, a temple in Hyōgo prefecture. Later he would meet up with Ōkyo again, when they both sought shelter in the same temple after a fire devastated parts of Kyōto. What was apparently a good working partnership in Hyōgo now became friendship. Around 1789 Goshun returned to the Shijō-district of Kyōto, by now he had begun to incorporate elements of Ōkyos decorative and realistic art styles. He was never a formal member of Ōkyos Maruyama-school, the older friend had declined his offer to accept him as disciple stating he wanted him to remain on equal footing with his younger friend, he nonetheless became proficient in Ōkyos painting techniques. However, only after Ōkyos death in 1795 did he found his own, the so-called Shijō-school (after the location of Goshuns residence and workplace) where he refined his own blend of literati-stile brushwork and decorative Maruyama-style composition and techniques.

## Artistic Development

In his early career Goshun was predominantly a painter of the nanga-literati-style of painting as were most of his teacher, not the least of which Yosa Buson left a great impression on Goshun. Until around 1785 he refines this style of painting until he is proficient in Buson-style, which he seems to copy faithfully. His time in Ikeda can be viewed as a period of maturity for Goshuns Literati-style painting.

After his time with Ōkyo (after 1787) his style changed significantly. Under the influence of the Maruyama-school he began to incorporate elementes of Ōkyo and his disciples into his oeuvre and developed them.

His style can be considered mature, however, only after the death of Ōkyo in 1795 when he refined his painting style in his own school without the influence of his former masters. In this late stage of his career he seems to have all but abandoned Buson's literati-style of painting even though in Kyōto he was for a while widely considered to be his successor.

## Collections

His work is held in several museums worldwide, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Worcester Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Seattle Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Harvard Art Museums, the Ashmolean, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Miho Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum.

Fish said that she loved playing Lisa and that she "got to do lots of awesome things." She described her character as being "selfish and mean" and said that she enjoyed Lisa turning into a "total bitch." Fish said that people may feel sorry for Lisa and that some scenes showed that it was her mother that had made her into a horrible girl.

Summer Hoyland makes friends with Lisa at primary school, after they both join the girls' soccer team.

Lisa begins hanging around with her boyfriend and she encourages Summer to smoke. Summer refuses and Lisa calls her a loser, ending their friendship. Summer starts hanging around with Penny Weinberg (Sally Kingsford) and Lisa steals Penny's diary and reads it out to everyone.

He is "enraged" when he sees photos of Sindi with Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Warrington said "It's an understatement to say that Rocco is not happy about Sindi and Toadie. He goes a bit crazy. He thinks Sindi is his whether Sindi wants to be or not!"

Sam Soap and Lucy Lather from *Inside Soap* criticised Rocco for being a lame gangster. Lather believed that Rocco feeling remorse for kidnapping Toadie was a characterisation mistake. She added "if he'd been any kind of baddie, Toadie would be in Lassiter's lake by now." Soap believed that Rocco followed a trend of non-sinister gangsters adding, "soap's hard men have gone soppy around the edges these days." He concluded that such gangster storylines are "laughable".

Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver) buys a coffee machine for his pub and he sends Toadfish Rebecchi and Connor O'Neill (Patrick Harvey) to collect it. Toadie and Connor meet Rocco and they become convinced that they had found the Erinsborough Mafia. When the machine does not work properly, Rocco gives Lou a lesson in using it. Months later, Rocco asks Lou to employ his daughter, Carmella (Natalie Blair). Rocco notices Connor looking at his daughter and he threatens him. However, he begins to suspect that Carmella is dating Connor and makes plans to stop it immediately. Rocco runs into Connor and lies to him that he is going to leave for Sicily. The next day, he finds Carmella and Connor together in his sauna and sends Carmella away. Lou calls Rocco when he is having some financial problems and Rocco agrees to lend him some money. Rocco makes it clear that the loan is only short term and that he wants the repayments soon. Rocco begins finds a new mistress in Sindi Watts and he enjoys spoiling and looking after her. He realises that he has strong feelings for her when she tries to call the relationship off. He refuses to give up on her and proposes. Sindi has no choice, but to accept. However, Sindi later admits that she is not in love with Rocco and cannot go through with marrying him.

Rocco gets Lou's car as part payment for his loan and he sends a henchmen to find why Sindi broke up with him. Rocco is furious to see photos of Sindi kissing Toadie and he asks Toadie to join him viewing a potential home. Toadie disappears and Sindi and Stuart Parker (Blair McDonough) know that Rocco has played a part in it. Stuart tries to prove that Rocco is guilty, but cannot find any evidence. Rocco spends his time visiting Toadie, who is actually in a coma in a country hospital. It is revealed that while Rocco's henchman was transporting Toadie to Adelaide to give him a fright, they were involved in an accident, which left Toadie badly injured. Rocco becomes upset and he is comforted by Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), who is on her way home to Erinsborough. Libby later tells Sindi and Stuart where she met Rocco. They drive to the hospital and find Rocco leaning over Toadie. Rocco tries to run, but Stuart catches him and he is arrested for his crimes. Three years later, Carmella and her sister, Rosetta (Natalie Saleeba) receive a letter from their father, who claims to be dying. They go to visit him in prison and discover that Rocco was lying. He tells them that he is having trouble with his brother, Raimondo (Jeff Kovski), who is trying to destroy one of the family businesses. He asks the girls to dig up some money, which is buried in a local park, and save the business. Carmella gets the money and rescues the business.

**Trixie Tucker**, played by Wendy Stapleton, made her first appearance on 20 October 2003. Trixie was introduced as Nina Tucker's (Delta Goodrem) mother and a love interest for Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver). Stapleton's casting details were announced in June 2003, and she began filming that same month. Trixie arrives in Erinsborough after her double act partner and Nina's father, Nick, ends their relationship. Stapleton told Jason Herbison of *Inside Soap*, "It's a blow to Trixie's ego and it leaves her vulnerable. Her act is in ruins. She puts on a front, but underneath it all she is completely shattered." Lou Carpenter offers Trixie a solo gig at his pub as he likes her, but she cannot perform in public without Nick, so Nina helps out. Stapleton said that the performance enables Trixie to regain some confidence and she and Nina win the audience over. Stapleton also explained that Nina's relationship with her mother was complicated and there were issues between them. Stapleton and Goodrem did not get much of a chance to explore their characters' relationship, as Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma three weeks into the storyline. The scripts were changed so Nina was not as involved. Stapleton said, "You'll see scenes where we pretend she is upstairs until we got the chance to sort it out properly." Trixie eventually went on to marry Lou.

Stapleton reprised the role in 2016 for a brief guest stint. Trixie meets an unsuspecting Lou for a date. Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy commented, "If we're honest, they don't seem to be making too much of an effort as they're only catching up in the café, but Trixie is still more than happy to see if there's still a spark between them." The character returned on 25 November 2016. Reporters for the *Herald Sun* believed Trixie Tucker "sounds a little too much like a porn star name for us." The BBC said Trixie's most notable moment was "Walking out on Lou when her show *Hello Dolly* was a flop."

Trixie is a singer and performer who spent most of her life touring the world with her partner, Nick and their daughter Nina. When Nina's schooling begins to suffer the family spend more time in Erinsborough. Trixie and Nick's relationship ends when he has an affair. Trixie tries to keep her problems from Nina, but when she attends one of her mother's shows, she sees that Trixie has no confidence. Lou Carpenter sees Trixie, and as he was a fan and had a crush on her, he offers her a regular gig performing in his pub. She accepts, but her first performance is almost a disaster, when she forgets notes and lyrics. Nina joins her mother on stage and rescues the show. Lou and Trixie begin spending more time together and when Trixie tells him that she cannot live with Nick anymore, Lou offers to rent Number 22 to her and Nina. Trixie cooks Lou a meal to say thanks and they kiss. When Trixie finds out that Nina has signed a contract with Melody Jones (Robyn Arthur) and forged her signature, she is furious. Lou eventually helps Nina get out of the contract.

Trixie makes it clear that she and Nick are over and she kisses Lou again. Trixie tells him that she and Nick were not legally married and they can go public with their relationship. Lou encourages Trixie to tell Nina that she is an illegitimate child and when she does, Nina refuses to speak to her mother for a while. Trixie then proposes to Lou, who accepts. Trixie gets an offer of the lead in a touring production of *Hello Dolly* and she asks Lou to invest money in it. On Boxing Day, Lou and Trixie have a showbiz wedding at Her Majesty's Theatre. Valda Sheergold (Joan Sydney) objects to the wedding and calls Trixie a gold-digger, but she and Lou marry. At the reception, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) has a stroke and Trixie makes it clear that Harold has ruined her day. Lou cancels their honeymoon to look after Harold and Trixie decides to throw herself into being a housewife. Lou remortgages all of his properties and businesses to raise money to fund the *Hello Dolly* tour. Trixie is excited and she and Lou hold a press conference to announce the tour and their departure for three months. In Hong Kong, Trixie is shocked when the opening night of the musical is cancelled due to low ticket sales. As Lou is stuck in their hotel due to flu, Trixie lies to him that she performed that night. The next day, she discovers that the entire run of the show had been cancelled. Lou finds out that Trixie lied to him and he decides to go home, as they have no money. Trixie gets a gig in a themed club, but Lou tells her to go back to Erinsborough. Trixie feels that she has failed Lou and she slips away during the night. Months later, she joins Nick and Nina in India.

Twelve years later, Lou asks to meet Trixie in Erinsborough to talk. Trixie insists that she was going to pay Lou back and that she regrets the way she left him. Lou wonders if they there is a chance they could give their relationship another chance. They go to The Waterhole, where Trixie notices Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) watching them and she confronts her. Sheila tells Trixie that Lou is on the rebound from his former wife and Trixie leaves.

# Pearlfish

**Pearlfish** are marine fish in the ray-finned fish family **Carapidae**. Pearlfishes inhabit the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans at depths to 2,000 m (6,600 ft), along oceanic shelves and slopes. They are slender, elongated fish with no scales, translucent bodies, and dorsal fin rays which are shorter than their anal fin rays. Adults of most species live symbiotically inside various invertebrate hosts, and some live parasitically inside sea cucumbers. The larvae are free living.

## Characteristics

Pearlfishes are slender, distinguished by having dorsal fin rays that are shorter than their anal fin rays. They have translucent, scaleless bodies reminiscent of eels. The largest pearlfish are about 50 cm (20 in) in length. They reproduce by laying oval-shaped eggs, about 1 mm in length.

## Ecology

Pearlfishes are unusual in that the adults of most species live inside various types of invertebrates. They typically live inside clams, sea cucumbers, starfish, or sea squirts, and are simply commensal, not harming their hosts. However, some species are known to be parasitic towards sea cucumbers, eating their gonads and other internal organs. Pearlfish usually live alone, or in pairs.

Regardless of the habits of the adults, the larvae of pearlfish are free-living among the plankton. Pearlfish larvae can be distinguished by the presence of a long filament in front of their dorsal fins, sometimes with various appendages attached.

## Genera

The genera are divided into three major groupings based on their level of symbiosis:

# Matsumura Tatsuo (admiral)

**Matsumura Tatsuo**  (松村龍雄, February 25, 1868 – July 18, 1932) was a vice admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

## Biography

Matsumura was born in what is now Saga Prefecture where his father was a samurai and lieutenant commander in the navy of Saga Domain. He was a graduate of the 14th class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1887. One of his classmates was the future Prime Minister Suzuki Kantarō. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in December 1892, serving as navigator on the barque training ship *Kanju* and later the *Banjō*. During the First Sino-Japanese War, he served in staff positions and did not see combat, returning to sea after the end of the war as navigator on the ironclad *Hiei* in 1896. The following year, he graduated with honors from the first class of the Naval War College and was promoted to lieutenant commander. He was promoted to commander in October 1902. From July 1903.

At the start of the Russo-Japanese War, Matsumura was assigned as executive officer on the cruiser *Azuma* and from January 1905, was executive officer of the battleship *Mikasa*. Following the end of the war, from May 10, 1906, he was sent to the United Kingdom for studies, and was promoted to captain on September 28, 1907. He returned to Japan on May 23, 1908, becoming chief of staff of the IJN 2nd Fleet from November 20, 1908. From February 1, 1909, Matsumura was an instructor at the Naval College. On May 22, 1922, he received his first command, that of the battleship *Aki*. On December 1, 1912 he was promoted to rear admiral. Early during World War I, he served as Commander of the Interim Southern Islands Defense Unit from October 1914 to August 1915 and as commander of the Training Fleet from December 1915 to September 1916. He was promoted to vice admiral on December 1, 1916 and assigned command of the Mako Guard District to December 1917, and the Ryojun Guard District from December 1918 to October 1920. He went on the reserve list on April 1, 1922 and died in 1932.

abstract: The Triptych with the Virgin and Child, Saints and Donors is a triptych depicting the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus, with several saints and an unidentified donor couple by the Master of Delft, created c. 1500-1510. It belongs to the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam, but is on long-term loan to the Museum Catharijneconvent, in Utrecht. The iconography of the central panel is unusual, and its meaning disputed. The Master of Delft, at the tail-end of Early Netherlandish painting, was given his notname in 1913 by Max Jakob Friedländer, with this as one of the "founding group" of works attributed to him, now somewhat expanded, and given dates from the approximate range 1490 to 1520. This painting was previously described as "Haarlem school, c. 1510" when it first appeared on the modern art market in 1919, then as "Delft, c. 1500" in 1923. It was given to the Rijksmuseum in 1933. Dendrochronology suggests a date "in or after 1510". The main panel is 87.1 cm tall and 69.2 cm wide, the side ones 86.5 cm tall and 31.5 wide. As was usual with triptychs, the side wings are hinged, and when closed a different view of the work is seen. Typically the painting was intended to be kept closed most of the time, but opened on special feasts or perhaps Sundays. In this case the closed wings show an Annunciation, mostly in grisaille except for the hair and other small areas. The wings were sawed through at the Rijksmuseum, so that the outsides could be displayed on their own.

# Triptych with the Virgin and Child, Saints and Donors

The ***Triptych with the Virgin and Child, Saints and Donors*** is a triptych depicting the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus, with several saints and an unidentified donor couple by the Master of Delft, created *c.* 1500-1510. It belongs to the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam, but is on long-term loan to the Museum Catharijneconvent, in Utrecht. The iconography of the central panel is unusual, and its meaning disputed.

The Master of Delft, at the tail-end of Early Netherlandish painting, was given his notname in 1913 by Max Jakob Friedländer, with this as one of the "founding group" of works attributed to him, now somewhat expanded, and given dates from the approximate range 1490 to 1520.

Dendrochronology suggests a date "in or after 1510". The main panel is 87.1 cm tall and 69.2 cm wide, the side ones 86.5 cm tall and 31.5 wide.

As was usual with triptychs, the side wings are hinged, and when closed a different view of the work is seen. Typically the painting was intended to be kept closed most of the time, but opened on special feasts or perhaps Sundays. In this case the closed wings show an *Annunciation*, mostly in *grisaille* except for the hair and other small areas. The wings were sawed through at the Rijksmuseum, so that the outsides could be displayed on their own.

## Description

The side wings have the kneeling donor couple, him to the left, her to the right, each with a standing saint behind, presenting them to the divine figures in the centre panel, a common arrangement. The bishop-saint on the left wing, probably Saint Martin of Tours, may be a disguised portrait of David of Burgundy, a bastard son of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, who was made Bishop of Utrecht. He died in 1496, although the portrait might be a posthumous memorial.

The female saint is probably the local Saint Cunera, in Christian legend the only one of Saint Ursula's thousand virgins to survive the massacre at Cologne, only later to be murdered at Rhenen near Utrecht. She was a princess from Orkney, and strangled with a scarf; in the painting she wears a crown and a scarf.

The central panel shows a hortus conclusus or small garden enclosed with a (very low) wall set in an urban scene with water and mountains in the distance. The Virgin sits near the front, with the Christ Child standing naked on her lap, holding her hair for support. There are several other figures, all female (or angelic) except for Saint Joseph at the back of the garden; his inclusion makes the painting one of the Holy Family. At the front and sitting on the wall are two exotically dressed women; according to the Rijkmuseum and other accounts these are saints, though hard to identify. Behind the Virgin a group of three angels are performing music, with bagpipes, a recorder, and the third singing from a musical score. Further back, and outside the garden, four women, none paying attention to those in the garden, seem to be ordinary inhabitants of the setting going about their lives.

## Vision

In the sky, a vision shows the *Arma Christi*, or Instruments of the Passion, in a tent whose hangings are pulled back by angels. The scene is unusual in iconography, and has been explained by one scholar, S. Ringbom, in an interpretation not yet generally accepted, and recognised but not agreed by Jan Piet Filedt Kok in his Rijksmuseum catalogue. According to Ringbom, rather than being saints, the two women at the front of the gardens are sibyls. She finds "suggestive" of this "their dress and, in particular, their fancy headgear: helmet-like contraptions vaguely alluding to antiquity and the Orient". Ringbom explores the possibility that the women in the background are also sibyls, but concludes that this is unlikely.

The only figures clearly looking at the vision are the left-hand sibyl and the Christ Child. Ringbom suggests that the sibyl has summoned her vision and made it visible to the child. This parallels the best-known Christian legend involving a sibyl, that of Augustus and the Tiburtine Sibyl, which was especially popular in later Early Netherlandish painting (for example several early works of Jan Mostaert include it in the background). There the vision is usually said to be the enthroned Virgin and Child. In this painting, the unspecified sibyl on the left, with an open book presumably recording her prophecies, is showing the Christ Child, and apparently him alone, the emblems of his future Passion.

Though this conception would be a "true innovation" in iconography, the vision depicted may correspond with one given by the early 4th-century Church Father Lactantius; as Saint Augustine complains he fails to specify which sibyl had the vision. This lacks the specific late medieval idea of the *arma Christi*, but ends "inhospitalitatis hanc mostrabunt mensam" ("such is the inhospitable board \[or "table"\] that they will set before him"), which the table in the vision seems to echo. God the Father sits rather casually at the table, his finger pointing at the instruments on the table. A comparable depiction, but with no sibyls, is seen in an anonymous *Adoration of the Magi* in Antwerp, where angels carrying the instruments hover in the sky.

Older photographs and descriptions of the painting's wooden frame, which is original, show inscribed below the centre panel *Dolor meus in conspectu meo sempre* ("my sorrow is continually before me") from the Vulgate of Psalm 37:17, which reflects the vision. This appears to have been removed in the 1920s. The table in the vision may also reflect Hebrews, 9:11.

## The Annunciation

The depiction of the Annunciation is also innovative, in that the archangel is apparently at the top of "a short flight of stairs, and the Virgin is seated beneath a baldachin". As this closed view was presumably exposed to more sunlight over the centuries, the pale colours are partly, but not wholly, due to fading of the pigments.

Other Pethia species are similarly marked but P. tiantian can be distinguished by its longer lateral line, reaching all the way back to the base of the caudal fin. P. didi, a similarly marked species found in the same drainage basin, differs from P. tiantian in having a deeper body and a longer dorsal fin with two rows of dark markings rather than one.
