paragraph: Elly Yunara

paragraph: Elly Joenara (Perfected Spelling: Elly Yunara; 3 November 1923 – 30 May 1992) was an Indonesian film actress who later became a producer. She was the wife of producer Djamaluddin Malik.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Joenara was born in Straits Settlements (modern-day Singapore) on 3 November 1923. She completed an elementary education at a Hollandsch-Inlandsche School, a Dutch-run school for "pribumi" students, the Dutch East Indies.

paragraph: Joenara made her film debut in "Pah Wongso Pendekar Boediman", a 1940 detective film produced and directed by Jo Eng Sek of Star Film. In the film she played Siti, the romantic partner of a character portrayed by Mohamad Arief. She remained with the company for its further productions, including "Tjioeng Wanara" (from a Sundanese legend), "Lintah Darat", and "Ajah Berdosa". By 1942 she is recorded as acting in one film produced by Tan's Film under Tan Khoen Yauw, "Aladin dengan Lampu Wasiat" ("Aladdin and the Magic Lamp").

paragraph: The Japanese occupied the Indies in March 1942, closing all but one film studio in the colony. Production of "Aladin dengan Lampu Wasiat" stopped; the film would only be released in 1950, after the occupation and national revolution. During the occupation Yunara acted in theatre, going from troupe to troupe; she was part of the troupes Warnasari, Matahari, and Jawa Ehai. By 1949, when the Dutch recognised an independent Indonesia, Yunara had married stage manager turned film producer Djamaluddin Malik.

paragraph: In 1950 Djamaluddin established a film company, Persari. Yunara completed two films for the company as an actress: "Si Mientje" in 1952 and "Siapa Ajahku" in 1954. However, her main role was managerial. Much of her time was spent as a housewife.

paragraph: Djamaluddin died on 8 June 1970, leaving Yunara a widow. She soon established her own company, Remaja Ellyanda Film, and in 1972 began a career as a film producer with "Malin Kundang". Directed by D. Djajakusuma and based on a Malay folk tale, the film starred Rano Karno and Putu Wijaya as the titular Malin Kundang, a young man who forgets his roots after spending much of his childhood at sea. This was followed by "Jembatan Merah" (1973), "Petualang Cilik" (1977), and "Halimun" (1979); the company also produced two non-feature films. In 1974 she received an award from Governor of Jakarta Ali Sadikin for her contributions to film.

paragraph: Yunara died in Jakarta on 30 May 1992.

paragraph: William Morris (Baptist minister)

paragraph: William Morris (1843–1922), widely known by his bardic name, "Rhosynnog" was the minister of Noddfa Baptist Church, Treorchy, South Wales from soon after its formation in 1868 until his death.

paragraph: Morris was born on 12 September 1843 at Tre-boeth, Swansea, the son of David Morris. After training in early life to become an engineer, he turned his attention to the nonconformist ministry. He was educated at the Swansea Academy of G. P. Evans, and later at Pontypool.

paragraph: Ordained at Treorchy in 1868, he later became secretary of the Baptist Union of Wales from 1879 until 1898, and later became its president. Under his leadership the membership at Noddfa increased rapidly and branch chapels were established including Ainon, Treorchy and Bethel, Cwmpark.

paragraph: A popular lecturer, Morris also supported cultural, temperance, and educational movements in the Rhondda Valley. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and in 1902 he visited the United States of America and was awarded an honorary degree by Bucknell University.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.

paragraph: Morris served as a member of the Ystradyfodwg School Board.

paragraph: He was also involved in local parliamentary politics. Following the formation of the new Rhondda constituency prior to the 1885 election, Morris was a leading figure in the local Liberal Association, known as the 'Three Hundred', who were tasked with selecting a parliamentary candidate. Morris supported the coal owner Frederick L. Davis against the trade unionist Mabon. In this respect, morris allied himself with the Liberal establishment in the valley, dominated by colliery officials and tradesmen, against the trade union movement. In some ways this reflected the influence of colliery officials at Noddfa.

paragraph: By the 1889 elections to Glamorgan County Council the Liberal schism had been temporarily been set aside and Morris chaired a meeting at Treorchy to support the official Liberal candidates for Treorchy and Treherbert wards. At this meeting both Daronwy Isaac, a well-known miner, and Mabon himself spoke. Following the election of William Jenkins, Ystradfechan, as alderman, Morris, together with Evan Davies, a Treherbert butcher were nominated as candidates for the by-election but Morris withdrew allowing Davies to be returned unopposed. In 1892, Morris was adopted as the official Liberal candidate for Treorchy at the Glamorgan County Council election of 1892. He was defeated, however, by the Lib-Lab candidate, Daromwy Isaac, a prominent miners' leader and close ally of Mabon.

paragraph: He died on 21 December 1922.

paragraph: Rudolf Alfred Höger

paragraph: Rudolf Alfred Höger (12 February 1877 – 7 November 1930) was an Austrian painter of genre art and war art.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Höger was born in Proßnitz, Moravia. Little is known about his life. It seems likely that, during World War I, he was a member of the group for art in the , the empire's press agency for war news, at least from 1914 to 1917. During this time, he created many works which are now in the collection of the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum, mostly oil paintings on the Eastern Front and the Balkan Front. He died in Vienna.

paragraph: Section::::Paintings.

paragraph: Höger painted genre art with nostalgic topics, such as "Das Hofkonzert" (The concert at court), a rococo scene, a late nineteenth-century or early twentieth-century painting of listening to chamber music in the eighteenth century. The artist based its details on possibly older paintings and not a work from direct experience of the period in which the events took place. Also other pictures by his hand represent a time era that already had passed, like "Fröhliche Sangesrunde mit einer Donaulandschaft" (Happy round of singers with a landscape on the Danube), a scene that did not originate in the period being depicted, but some years before, a denial of the artist's own time—a wish to escape from it by retreating into fantasy. Other paintings depict historical scenes, or everyday life scenes from a time not actually in the artist's experience, like "Hausmusik" (Music at home), "Der Vorleser" (The recitator), "Picknick in Dürnstein", "Fröhliche Gesellschaft in den Wachauer Weinbergen" (Happy gathering in the vinyards of the Wachau) and "Im Maien" (In May). He also painted contemporary scenes at the turn of the 19/20th century; such as "Beim Heurigen in Grinzing" (At the Heuriger in Grinzing), "Markttag" (A day at the market), "Gaudeamus Igitur" and "Obstmarkt in Venedig" (Fruit market in Venice). Rudolf Alfred Höger painted landscapes and also chose biblical topics such as "Susanne und die beiden Alten" (Susanna and the two elders).

paragraph: Edmund Pery, 1st Earl of Limerick

paragraph: Edmund Henry Pery, 1st Earl of Limerick PC (8 January 1758 – 7 December 1844), styled Lord Glentworth between 1794 and 1800, and Viscount Limerick until 1803, was an Irish peer and politician.

paragraph: Pery was the son of William Cecil Pery, 1st Baron Glentworth and his first wife, Jane Walcott, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He married Mary Alice, the daughter of Henry Ormsby of County Mayo, by his wife Mary Hartstonge, in 1783, and they had at least eight children. Mary Alice was the heiress of her uncle, Sir Henry Hartstonge, 3rd Baronet, who left her substantial property in the south of Ireland. She died in 1850.

paragraph: Pery was elected to the Irish Parliament as the Member of Parliament for Limerick in 1786 and held the seat until 1794, when he inherited his father's barony and took his seat in the Irish House of Lords. As a politician, he was a vocal Unionist. He held the office of Keeper of the Signet and Privy Seal of Ireland between 1795 and 1797. In 1797, he was invested as a Privy Counsellor. Pery subsequently held the office of Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper of Ireland between 1797 and 1806. In 1800, he was created Viscount Limerick of the City of Limerick.

paragraph: Following the Act of Union 1800, he became a representative peer, sitting in the British House of Lords between 1801 and 1844. He was created Earl of Limerick in the Peerage of Ireland on 1 January 1803, in recognition of his vocal and persistent support for the Union. In addition, he was created Baron Foxford of Stackpole Court in the Peerage of Great Britain on 11 August 1815, giving him and his descendants a permanent seat in the House of Lords. During this part of his life he lived at South Hill Park, Berkshire, where he died in 1844.

paragraph: His eldest son and heir, Henry, Viscount Glentworth, had predeceased him in 1834, and thus Limerick was succeeded in his titles by his Henry's eldest son, William. One of Pery's daughters, Theodosia, married the Whig politician and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Monteagle of Brandon.

Heskett was a professor at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology (1989–2004) and school of design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2004–11) teaching in Design history, Design Thinking, he became the acting dean of the latter (2011–12). He was also a visiting professor at universities in Turkey, Japan, Chile, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

paragraph: Between the late 1970s and 2010, he has published "Industrial Design, Toothpicks and logos: design in everyday life, Design: a very short introduction" and other books. These were considered as significant contributions to the history of design, to the study of design policy and latterly to the theoretical and applied articulation of the economic value created by design, first in the United Kingdom, then in the United States and, in the last decade of his life, in Hong Kong.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Born in Coventry in 1937, Heskett went to the Humphrey Perkins School in Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire (1947–54), did national service and gained a degree in economics, politics and history at the London School of Economics.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: With his background, Heskett began to write history considering social, economic and political as components of design. In the early 1970s he became part of the emerging first generation of historians of design.

paragraph: A variety of jobs followed before he obtained a design history post at Lanchester Polytechnic (1967–77). Then he taught design history and theory in Sheffield,

paragraph: and at Ravensbourne College, Bromley, in south-east London (1984–89).

paragraph: In the late 1970s, John became a prominent member of a group of academics based in several of Britain's art schools (then part of the polytechnics – he was at Sheffield City) who developed the discipline of design history and theory, later to become subsumed under the broader. His first book, Industrial Design, appeared in 1980 and was instantly successful since it provided one of the first accounts of industrial design as responses to changes in production methods and the organization of capitalism.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:In United States.

paragraph: Heskett left the United Kingdom for the United States in 1988, first to work on a project with the Design Management Institute in Boston, and then after 1989, to teach in the graduate programmes in the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago. By 1990 he was working for a Japanese consultancy and throughout the next decades he was invited to speak and advise at institutional and government level in Mexico, Chile, Finland, Japan, Taiwan and South Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:In Hong Kong.

paragraph: Since 2004, in Hong Kong, Heskett undertook teaching and research on the roles of design in production and more widely in the economy as a whole, examining design policy at national levels in the United States, Europe and, increasingly, Asia.

paragraph: Heskett was a member of the INDEX: Design to Improve Life Award Jury since 2004 and a board member of CIID since 2007.

paragraph: William Bridges (preacher)

paragraph: William Bridges (1802 – 1874) was a Methodist local preacher, hat block maker and founder of the Plumstead Peculiar People.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: William Bridges was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk to John Bridges (1761–1841), and Mary Block (1761– ), he was baptised at St Mary, Woodbridge on the 8 May 1802.

paragraph: His father is listed as a Wheelwright on the 1841 census, aged 80, and still living in Suffolk. Little else is known about Bridges very early years. By 1824 at the time of his marriage to Ann Siggers (1800–1882) he was living in South London, at 8 Gravel Lane Southwark, working as a hat block turner (lathe worker). Bridges remained a hat block maker for over 50 years; it was a trade that required considerable woodworking skills, perhaps learnt from his father. The area of Southwark St Saviour near the Thames close to Blackfriars Bridge had been the traditional home of hat making since the days of Queen Elizabeth, so he was well placed to make a living.

paragraph: At some point during the early 1830's Bridges became a Methodist local preacher.

paragraph: Section::::Influence of Robert Aitken, meeting with James Banyard.

paragraph: In 1837 Bridges witnessed the fiery ex-Anglican Robert Aitken preaching at White's Row Chapel in Shoreditch which proved to be a crucial turning point in his life. Bridges was inspired to begin his own mission and installed a tiny chapel in an upper room at Gravel Lane. In 1838 Bridges visited his sister at Rochford and it was here he met James Banyard. Subsequently Banyard visited Bridges in Southwark and was also deeply moved by Aitken's evangelism. Banyard was "born again" at Gravel Lane and returned to Essex a changed man. He went on to found the Peculiar People of Essex.

paragraph: Bridges was closely involved in the sect's early years in Rochford, and helped Banyard found his first chapel there in 1842. In the late 1840's Bridges inspired John Sirgood who went on to found his own rural sect the Society of Dependants aka 'The Cokelers' in Sussex.

paragraph: Banyard and Bridges believed in Faith Healing and strictly forbade the use of doctors; this would later lead to trials and imprisonment for some members of their congregation when they came into conflict with the authorities. Banyard was later estranged from his own movement in 1855, due to a change of heart over the calling in of a Doctor for his own sick child.

paragraph: Section::::Later life. Plumstead Peculiars, Walworth Jumpers and child death controversies.

paragraph: In 1868 the first Peculiars were convicted of neglect during the "Wagstaffe Case". At the inquest (which was held at the Crown Tavern on Blackfriars Road) a local church elder was called to give evidence; it is entirely possible the man who stated that "physic (medicine) killed a great many people" was Bridges himself. Although the London coroner concluded that "the age for miracles was past"; the Peculiar People did not concede this point for many years.

paragraph: In his book "Forgotten Thameside" (1951), Glyn H. Morgan asserts that the "alternative and now seldom heard name Plumstead Peculiars" was due to its "place of origin". Even though Bridges always lived and worked in Southwark and Walworth, the Plumstead Peculiars had meeting houses in both Woolwich and Plumstead; census and electoral records confirm that by the mid 1850s Bridges niece Maria Syer (1821–1887) and her husband William Thomas Syer (1816–1891) were living at Maxey Rd, Plumstead. Maria was the daughter of Bridges sister Mary Ann (who spent her final years in Plumstead) and Maria seems to have been a prominent member of the sect; she is easily identified as the "Elder Sister" interviewed by the Rev C. Maurice Davies in his book "Unorthodox London". (The pub visited by Davies, the Windsor Castle, once stood in Maxey Rd).

paragraph: The chapter in "Unorthodox London" devoted to the Plumstead Peculiars was written at the time of the "Hurry Case" in 1872. Davies gives an interesting insight into the simplistic beliefs espoused by the sect and its predominately working class adherents.

paragraph: WIth local antipathy towards their movement clearly growing, the Plumstead Peculiars invited the charismatic and controversial Mary Girling to preach for them; perhaps seeing her as another Banyard. It was, however, a move they soon came to regret. Like Bridges, Girling originally came from Suffolk, she had tried preaching to local Methodist's, but met resistance. She began having "visions" and founded her own sect the "Girlingites". She worked briefly with the Plumstead Peculiars but fell out with the sect owing to her claims of divinity; she believed she "was" Jesus Christ, and her followers could become immortal. She managed to take a great many of the Plumstead congregation with her when she began preaching in a railway arch off the Walworth Road where the "Walworth Jumpers" (or Shakers) made headlines and drew huge crowds. Bridges seems to have been drawn to charismatic figures like Girling, Banyard and Sirgood. Girling eventually decamped with her disciples to the New Forest where the New Forest Shakers endeavoured to live on faith alone. Unlike the more practical Cokelers, Girling's Children of God refused to work and eventually endured great poverty and hardship.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Bridges died aged 72 on the 27 February 1874 at 12 Wansey Rd in Newington and was still working as a hat block maker. He was buried at Norwood Cemetery on 5 March 1874. At the time of his death the Peculiar People had 43 chapels, most of them in Essex

paragraph: Cleophis

paragraph: Cleophis (Sanskrit: "Kripa") was a key figure in the war between the Assacani people and Alexander the Great. Cleophis was the mother of Assacanus, the Assacanis' war-leader at the time of Alexander's invasion in 326 BCE. After her son's death in battle, Cleophis assumed command and negotiated a settlement that allowed her to retain her status. Later accounts claim Cleophis had a son by Alexander, a notion dismissed by historians.

paragraph: The Assacani (called Ashvakas in Sanskrit, from the word Ashva, meaning "horse") were an independent people who lived in parts of what is now the Swat and Buner valleys in modern-day Pakistan. These highlanders were rebellious, fiercely independent clans who resisted subjugation.

paragraph: Section::::Alexander's War with the Assacani.

paragraph: In 326 BCE, Alexander's campaigns west of the Indus River brought him into conflict with the Assacani. In defence of their homeland, they assembled an army of 20,000 cavalry, 38,000 infantry, and 30 elephants, according to classical writer Quintus Curtius Rufus. Their army included a contingent of 7,000 Kamboj mercenaries recruited from Abhisara.

paragraph: After being defeated in the field, the Assacani fell back to the fortified city of Massaga, where the fighting continued for five days (or nine days, according to Curtius.) It was during this battle that Assacanus was killed. After her son's death, Cleophis assumed command, mustered the Assacani women to fight, and led the continued defence of the city.

paragraph: Eventually, however, Cleophis judged that defeat was inevitable. She came to terms with the invaders and abandoned Massaga with her followers. Diodorus Siculus says: "Cleophis sent precious gifts to Alexander with a message in which she expressed her appreciation of Alexander's greatness and assured him that she would comply with the terms of the treaty." According to Curtius and Arrian, Cleophis was captured along with her young granddaughter.

paragraph: Alexander's retaliation against the defeated Assaceni was severe. He had Massaga burned. Victor Hansen writes: "After promising the surrounded Assaceni their lives upon capitulation, he executed all their soldiers who had surrendered. Their strongholds at Ora and Aornus, were also likewise stormed. Garrisons were probably all slaughtered."

paragraph: Additionally, Alexander pursued the Kamboj mercenaries, surrounded them on a hill, and killed them all. Diodorus describes the event in detail: "...The women, taking up the arms of the fallen, fought side by side with their men. Accordingly, some who had supplied themselves with arms did their best to cover their husbands with their shields, while others, who were without arms, did much to impede the enemy by flinging themselves upon them and catching hold of their shields."

paragraph: Section::::Cleophis and Alexander.

paragraph: Later classical writers, including Curtius and Justin, claim that Alexander fathered a child with Cleophis. Historians dismiss this notion as a much later romantic invention. On Alexander's relatively generous terms, which allowed Cleophis to retain her status, Curtius says, "...some believed that this indulgent treatment was accorded rather to the charms of her person than to pity for her misfortunes. At all events, afterwards she gave birth to a son who received the name Alexander whoever his father may have been..." Earlier writers do not mention this.

paragraph: Trịnh Cương

paragraph: Trịnh Cương (1686–1729) was the lord who ruled Tonkin from 1709 to 1729 (his title as ruler was "An Đô Vương"). Trịnh Cương was born to Trịnh Bính, a grandson of the former lord Trịnh Căn. He belonged to the line of Trịnh Lords who had ruled parts of Vietnam since 1545. Like his great-grandfather and predecessor, Trịnh Căn, his reign was mostly devoted to administrative reforms.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Trịnh Cương ruled Việt Nam during a time of external peace but growing internal strife. He enacted many governmental reforms in both financial matters and judicial rules. His main concern was the growing problem of landless peasants. Unlike the Nguyễn Lords who were constantly expanding their territory south, the Trịnh Lords had little room for expansion. So the land supply was essentially fixed but the population kept growing.

paragraph: Trịnh Cương tried various legislative means to solve the problem. He tried to limit private land holdings. He tried to redistribute the communal fields of the small villages. Nothing really worked and the problem became very serious over the succeeding decades. According to historian R. H. Bruce Lockhart, the governmental reforms enacted by Trịnh Cương and his great-grandfather, Trịnh Căn, made the government more effective but, they also made the government more of a burden to the people. This had the effect of increasing the hatred felt by the people towards the Trịnh rulers in Hanoi.

paragraph: Trịnh Cương passed an edict forbidding people to practice Christianity in 1712. Like previous efforts to suppress Christianity, this had little real effect in Vietnam. However, he tried to offer the people an alternative, and he had many Buddhist pagodas constructed during his rule.

paragraph: As far as the Lê Dynasty was concerned, the emperor, Lê Dụ Tông, ruled throughout Trịnh Cương's lifetime. The two men died within a few months of each other in 1729.

paragraph: Trịnh Giang

paragraph: Trịnh Giang (; 1711–1762) ruled northern Vietnam (Tonkin) from 1729 to 1740. His title as ruling lord ("chua") was "Uy Nam Vương". He was one of the Trịnh Lords who ruled Vietnam. He was a bad ruler, being wasteful, inept, and callous.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Trịnh Giang was the son of his predecessor Trịnh Cương. He is considered one of the worst of the Trịnh Lords. During his years in power he spent money on luxuries and did little about the growing problem of landless peasants in the countryside. Also, a series of natural disasters struck, floods caused ruin for many villages and yet Trịnh Giang did nothing to relieve the suffering. Instead he obtained (through rich gifts) a new title from the Yongzheng Emperor of China, Supreme King of Annam (). This foolish action provoked a rash of revolts as the people felt he was usurping the title of the Lê Emperor.

paragraph: By 1737, his government had run out of money and had to put public offices up for sale. A mandarin could gain a step in rank by the payment of six hundred strings of cash, and the commonest man in the kingdom was able to obtain the highest rank by the payment of two thousand eight hundred strings.

paragraph: In the midst of revolts and bankruptcy, Trịnh Giang turned the government over to a favored eunuch in 1738. Two years later he was deposed and Trịnh Doanh took over.

paragraph: As far as the Lê Dynasty was concerned, the king, Hôn Đức Công (1729–1732), was imprisoned shortly after assuming the throne and was then murdered after three years. He was replaced by Lê Thuần Tông (1732–1735) who was in turn replaced by Lê Ý Tông (1735–1740).

paragraph: Bhai Parmanand

paragraph: Bhai Parmanand (4 November 1876 – 8 December 1947) was an Indian nationalist and a prominent leader of the Hindu Mahasabha.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Parmanand was born into a prominent family of the Punjab, Mohyal Brahmins. His father, Tara Chand Mohyal, came from Kariala, Jhelum District and was an active religious missionary with the Arya Samaj movement.

paragraph: Following the British announcement of the partition of Bengal (1905), he demanded that 'the territory beyond Sindh should be united with North-West Frontier Province into a great Musulman Kingdom. The Hindus of the region should be expelled, while at the same time the Musulmans in the rest of the country should go and settle in this territory'. This preceded the Muslim League's Pakistan Resolution by over three decades.

paragraph: In October 1905, Parmanand visited South Africa and stayed with Mahatma Gandhi as a Vedic missionary. Parmanand visited Guyana in 1910 which was the centre of the Arya Samaj movement in the Caribbean. His lectures increased their following there. In 1911, he visited Lala Hardayal when he was on retreat in Martinique. Parmanand persuaded Hardayal to go to the United States to found a centre for the propagation of the ancient culture of the Aryan people. Hardayal left for America, but soon located himself in Hawaii, where he again went on retreat on Waikiki Beach. A letter from Parmanand prompted his departure for San Francisco where he became an activist in the anarchist movement.

paragraph: Parmanand toured several British colonies in South America before rejoining Hardayal in San Francisco. He was a founder member of the Ghadar Party. He accompanied Hardayal on a speaking tour to Portland in 1914 and wrote a book for the Ghadar Party called "Tarikh-I-Hind". He returned to India as part of the Ghadar Conspiracy claiming he was accompanied by 5,000 Ghadarites. He was part of the leadership of the revolt, and was sent to promote the revolt in Peshawar. He was arrested in connection with the First Lahore Conspiracy Case and was sentenced to death in 1915. The sentence was later commuted to one of transportation for life: he was imprisoned in the Andaman Islands until 1920 and subjected to hard labour. In protest against such harsh treatment of political prisoners, Bhai Parmanand went on hunger strike for two months. The King-Emperor, George V, released him in 1920 as the result of a general amnesty order.

paragraph: Parmanand died on 8 December 1947 of a heart attack. He was survived by his son Dr. Bhai Mahavir, a prominent member of the Jana Sangh and BJP.

paragraph: An Institute of Business Studies was named after him in New Delhi, a Public School in East Delhi and a hospital also in Delhi.

paragraph: Namiki Sōsuke

paragraph: Namiki Sōsuke (; 1695 – c. 1751), also known as Namiki Senryū, was a prominent Japanese playwright who wrote for both "kabuki" and "bunraku" (puppet theater). He produced around 47 bunraku plays, nearly 40 of them composed for "jōruri", a particular form of musical narrative, and 10 kabuki plays. He is considered the second greatest Japanese playwright after Chikamatsu Monzaemon.

paragraph: Sōsuke was born in Osaka in 1695 and for the early part of his life he was a buddhist priest in the Jōjūji temple in Mihara, Bingo province. He then left priesthood and settled in Osaka to become a playwright, starting as a disciple of Nishizawa Icchū in the Toyotake-za theatre.

paragraph: Collaborating with a number of other playwrights, including Takeda Izumo I and Miyoshi Shōraku, Namiki Sōsuke created some of the most famous traditional Japanese plays. Among them are "Natsu Matsuri Naniwa Kagami" (1745, Summer Festival: Mirror of Osaka), "Sugawara denju tenarai kagami" (1746, The Secrets of Sugawara's Calligraphy), "Yoshitsune no senbonzakura" (1747, The Thousand Cherry Blossoms of Yoshitsune), and "Kanadehon chūshingura" (1748, The Treasure of the Loyal Retainers). Namiki died while writing "Ichinotani futaba gunki" (1751, The Chronicle of the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani), but it was completed by some of his collaborators.

paragraph: One of his plays has been translated into English, "Summer Festival: Mirror of Osaka" (1745, translated by Julie A. Iezzi) in "Kabuki Plays on Stage I: Brilliance and Bravado, 1697-1770", edited by James R. Brandon and Samuel L. Leiter.

paragraph: Bartolomeo Caporali

paragraph: Bartolomeo (di Segnolo) Caporali (b Perugia, c. 1420; d Perugia, c. 1503 - 1505) was an Italian painter and miniaturist in Perugia, Umbria during the early Renaissance period. His style was influenced by Umbrian artists Gozzoli and Boccati, two of his first mentors, and continued to evolve as younger Umbrian artists came onto the scene, such as Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, Perugino and Pinturicchio. Although primarily a painter, he is also known for executing missals, restoration work, gilding, armorials, banners and celebratory decorations, which speaks to his decorative, detail-oriented artistic style. His most famous works include "Madonna and Saints" (1487) for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena at Castiglione del Lago, "The Virgin and Child Between Two Praying Angels," and his "Adoration of the Shepherds."

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Caporali was born in the town of Perugia, Italy in 1420. He was from a family of artists, including his brother, Giapeco Caporali, and son, Giovanni Battista Caporali. His father was a highly trained soldier and fully armored cavalryman as a “man-at-arms”. Caporali married Brigida di Giovanni Cartolari before 1480 and together they had seven children: three daughters, Candida, Lucrezia, and Laura and four sons, Giovanni, who was also a painter, Ser Camillo, Giampaolo, and Eusebio. According to housing records, he lived in a house in the vicinity of San Martino in Perugia in 1456, which he co-owned with his brother Giapeco.

paragraph: In addition to being an artist, Caporali was also highly involved in the politics of Perugia. He was prior of his town, camerlingo to the Company of Illuminators, was elected captain of the people and held leadership positions in the Umbria Painters Guild multiple times throughout his career. His opinion was highly valued in the art community, as he was frequently called upon to estimate the value of other artists’ works. He was known to have an extremely even emotional temperament, and in one instance is described as being “phlegmatic”.

paragraph: His death occurred between 1503 and October 8, 1505, since a document of that date describes his son, a canon of San Lorenzo, as "Ser Camillus quondam Bartholomei Caporalis," or “of the late Bartolomeo Caporali”. The last found document that mentions Caporali alive dates from 1503.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Caporali had an artistic style that is best described as chameleon-esque, as he was masterful at absorbing the new techniques, skills and fashions from his contemporaries. Although Caporali’s work was best known within Umbria, he constantly collaborated with provincial Renaissance painters in order to learn, network and develop his style.

paragraph: One attribute known about Carporali’s work is his acute attention to detail. This can be seen in the particular detailing in his figure’s clothes in order to give substance and differentiate between fabrics; his angels’ robes have a velvety thickness, and his Madonnas have complex double drapes painted onto her cloaks. Additionally, his work is known for the gentle facial expressions of his subjects and the peculiar transparency of their facial skin tone. Strong hints of gold in the flesh, large infantile eyes with hard blackish lines under the upper lids, overlong fingers, and sensitive mouths drawn by long parallel brushstrokes are all details that define his work.

paragraph: As with most Renaissance painters, Caporali's style transformed throughout his career as he was introduced and influenced by various artists. This pattern often relied upon which artists traveled and worked in Umbria, as well as younger, more talented contemporaries from Perugia that he learned and borrowed from. These artists included Gozzoli, Boccati, Benozzo, Bonfigli, Perugino, Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, and Pintoricchio. In his last works in particular, Caporali began strictly producing work related to the impersonal mass of religious Umbrian paintings which were inspired by Pintoricchio. The quality of his work severely declined with age, to the point at which his hand is almost unrecognizable in his last paintings.

paragraph: Section::::Training and Early Works.

paragraph: Little is known about Caporali’s training, however there are two men that undoubtedly influenced his artistic career. Many art historians claim that he studied under Benozzo Gozzoli, whose influences are seen in many of Caporali’s earlier works. However, according to official records, Gozzoli didn’t travel to Umbria until Caporali was about 30 years old. Others claim Caporali to be the student of Giovanni Boccati, however there is the same chronological issue, as Boccati didn’t live in Perugia until 1445. Therefore, it is not known who first introduced Caporali or his brother to the art of painting. However, most art historians attribute the majority of Caporali’s training to Gozzoli.

paragraph: The earliest documentary record of Bartolomeo Caporali is his matriculation in the Guild of Painters at Perugia in the year 1442. Additionally, in the late 15th century, an important local school of painting developed in Perugia, its principal exponents including Benedetto Bonfigli, Bartolomeo Caporali, Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, Bernadro Pinturicchio and later the great Perugino. Although he collaborated with all of these artists, Caporali worked particularly closely with Bonfigli during the beginning of their careers. In fact, modern art historians have trouble discerning between their early works due to their strong resemblances in technique, most likely because they were educated under like influences, if not the same master.

paragraph: Following their father’s death in 1452, Bartolomeo and his brother renounced their inheritance and moved to Porta Eburnea. It is here that the first record of Bartolomeo’s work appears in 1454 when he paints a "Maesta" and a "Pieta" for the "Palazzo dei Priori" in the "Udienza dei Calzolari". This commission resulted in his attaining the status of an independent and highly regarded master. From this point forward Bartolomeo received many commissions and expanded his network by collaborating on projects with celebrated artists such as Giapeco, Boccati and Bonfigli. His willingness to collaborate as well as master new techniques and skills in order to reach broader markets speaks to his talent as a networker and businessman. However, most works of this early period in his career are not documented, and it is difficult to pinpoint with whom he collaborated with on the work that can be identified as his.

paragraph: Section::::Notable Works.

paragraph: One of his first major works was "The Virgin and Child Between Two Praying Angels". Made around 1450, this painting is on panel with tempura, oil and gold ground, and is in good condition. The linear drawing and complex treatment in the folds of the clothes call to Bonfigli’s work, indicating that he and Caporali had a professional relationship far before their first known collaboration in 1467. Additionally, this work distinguishes itself because of the angels’ placement on an upper register, implying depth.

paragraph: By the second half of the 1460s, Bartolomeo seemed to have solidified his place as a master in Italy. This is due to the increased documentation and preservation of his works from this period in both Perugia and Rome. While continuing to make painted and gilded objects for the municipality of Perugia and the abbey of San Pietro in order to make a steady income, Bartolomeo also worked on his more famous commissions.

paragraph: One such work is the "Assumption of the Virgin" in the Monastery of Santa Giuliana, Perugia. Completed in 1469, it is a monumental fresco with a light-toned composition distinguished with rich, elegant formal fabrics on the angels and the Virgin. It was very successful due to its “refined compositional archaisms in harmony with the older decorations of [the abbey]”, and represents Caporali’s ability to incorporate new techniques and styles successfully within older spaces.

paragraph: The Caporali Missal is notable for several reasons. First, it was a decorated religious book containing the texts of mass, which is unlike most of the projects Bartolomeo worked on. Second, this missal in particular was a joint project with his brother, Giapeco. This missal was executed for the Franciscan convent of San Francesco, Montone near Perugia, an all-male convent that's remains still exist today. The missal itself was completed in 1469. Third, it survives complete with all of its four hundred folios in extremely good condition. The most prominent decoration of the missal is assigned to three full-page illuminations. Compared to other missals in this period, the Caporali missal was spectacularly decorative.

paragraph: His "Virgin and Child with Six Angels" appears to be the first picture painted in oils in this town, an honor which until discovered had been bestowed by Vasari to Perugino.

paragraph: His "Adoration of the Shepherds" (1477–79) represents his ability to exhibit learned skills from mentors and experiment in new mediums. The use of oil paint allowed him to pay greater attention to details through the use of new calligraphic tools, a skill he picked up from Bernardino Pintoricchio, who spent time in Bartolomeo’s workshop a few years earlier. Around this same time, Bartolomeo’s brother, Giacomo, died in 1478. Subsequently, he was appointed to complete Giacomo’s term of office as treasurer of the Guild of Miniaturists. During his time in this position, he painted a miniature representing the "Annunciation" in the choral books of the Monastery of San Pietro at Perugia.

paragraph: In the 1480s, Bartolomeo shifted towards the “gentle style” developed by Perugino on the walls of the Sistine Chapel and brought it to Perugia. One work that exemplifies this is his "Madonna of the Windowsill," completed in 1484 and commissioned by the Alessandri family and Perugian jurists. His assistant at the time was Lattazino di Giovanni, who is thought to have worked alongside him during this period.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy and Significance.

paragraph: Art historians differ on the degree of Caporali’s influence to Renaissance painting. While Fliegel sees him as a major influencer on objectively greater Umbrian artists such as Fiorenzo di Lorenzo and Perugino, others find Caporali’s contemporary Bonfigli to be his superior and assume the role of influencer in the Umbrian region during this period. As Van Marle wrote, “When he did not have a more provincial artist to learn from, he had a tendency to descend to an almost provincial level.”

paragraph: However, few documented works of lesser-known Renaissance artists like Caporali's survive. As a result, there has been a tendency to grant attributions around the few recognizable artistic personalities of the period, when in fact they could belong to lesser-known masters such as Caporali. In the case of Caporali, one paper claims that the Giustizia triptych and the National Gallery altarpiece are likely his work and Sante di Apollonio, instead of Fiorenzo di Lorenzo's, to whom it is currently attributed. It would reveal the use of ideas from Paduan and Marchigian sources within pictorial structures that reference the work of Benozzo Gozzoli, combined with a determined effort to master the style of Perugino. Its significance is that there may be more works of art during this period attributed to the greats that may belong to lesser-known Renaissance painters.

paragraph: Santō Kyōden

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Santō Kyōden was born in Fukagawa in Edo (modern Tokyo). The Iwase family into which he was born were pawnbrokers in a lumberyard. He studied "ukiyo-e" under master , and began illustrating "kibyōshi" under the pseudonym of . He soon started writing these novels also under the name of Santō Kyōden; several novels are labeled as written by Santō Kyōden and illustrated by Kitao Masanobu. He wrote "kibyōshi" and "sharebon" in great numbers, and became a popular writer. During this time he married twice, both his wives being licensed workers of Yoshiwara, the red-light district of Edo.

paragraph: During the Kansei Reforms, "[...] military and civil arts were encouraged, and the decadent writings of gesaku authors were condemned." In 1791, Kyōden published three sharebon: , , and . This incurred the anger of the stricter government and he was chained in manacles to his house for fifty days as punishment.

paragraph: Kyōden then broke off all ties with "sharebon" and turned to writing "yomihon". Kyokutei Bakin joined with Kyōden to write "gesaku" jointly, and independently Kyōden also wrote essentially historical texts on the manners and customs of the Edo period. Kyōden was an acute observer of life in the Edo period. While at ease with exaggeration, comedy and linguistic fun, his writing was primarily realistic.

paragraph: Fiction writers prior to Kyōden generally wrote fiction as a hobby without any expectations of payment. Kyōden was one of the pioneers in turning this hobby into a livable profession.

paragraph: Jippensha Ikku

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Little is known of Jippensha Ikku's adult life. He was married three times, two of which were quickly ended by fathers-in-law who could not understand his literary habits.

paragraph: The following anecdotes are told about him. He accepted poverty with good humor and, having no furniture, hung his bare walls with paintings of the furniture he might have had. On holidays he sacrificed to the gods with pictures of excellent offerings. Being presented with a bathtub in the common interest, he carried it home inverted on his head, and overthrew with ready wit the pedestrians who fell his way. When his publisher came to see him, Jippensha invited him to take a bath. While his invitation was being accepted he decked himself in the publisher's clothes and paid his New Year's Day calls in proper ceremonial costume. These anecdotes are now widely regarded as apocryphal. The most reliable sources cite Jippensha as being surly and unpleasant in person.

paragraph: His masterpiece, "Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige", was published in twelve parts between 1802 and 1822. Aston calls it "the most humorous and entertaining book in the Japanese language."

paragraph: In 1831, Jippensha became paralyzed. On his deathbed, Jippensha is said to have enjoined his pupils to place upon his corpse, before his cremation, certain packets which he solemnly entrusted to them. He died on August 7 of that year. At his funeral, prayers having been said, the pyre was lighted, whereupon it turned out that the packets were full of firecrackers, which exploded merrily. Jippensha had kept his youthful promise that his life would be full of surprises, even after his death. As above, this tale is most likely not true.

paragraph: His ashes were buried in Asakusa in Tokyo at the Zenryu temple.
