[edit] Samizu Matsuki
Hello Penbay. Thank you for creating the article Samizu Matsuki, which appears to be both interesting and an appropriate one to be included in Wikipedia. I have done a little work on it to make it more in the style used by Wikipedia and may do some more. However, Wikipedia is very keen that what is written is sourced and can be verified by the reader. Newspaper and magazine feature articles, books, and so on, are appropriate. Online ones are especially convenient but of course not always available. Would you be able to add sources to the article? If you have difficulty, place the sources on the talk page and I will do what I can to help. Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 22:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Samizu Matsuki - provenance references
Friends As originator of the Samizu Matsuki entry, I am challenged with certain barriers to obtaining provenance of some of the references for Samizu Matsuki biographical entry. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in following up on them. Several are described below; I will supply the leads to others in a future posting and as requested. I hope this format I am using is appropriate. Thanks! Ron Huber aka Penbay.
Education at Women's College of Fine Arts (WCFA) This is now within the larger Joshibi http://www.joshibi.ac.jp/index_e.html Note the creation of the Women's College of Fine Arts in the 1949 reference on http://www.joshibi.ac.jp/e/aboutjoshibi/history/
There is an alumni website, http://www.joshibidosokai.net/index.html It is in Japanese and I can't read it. Links there must point to the reference person or entity. If that could be accessed by one with a Japanese-reading computer, Samizu's attendance there could be verified.
Union Membership in the Tokyo Teachers Union, in 1960. This fact must exist in document form in that union's archives.
Artist Memberships: Salmagundi Club & Allied Artists of America Salmagundi Club http://www.salmagundi.org/ Allied Artists of America -- not yet added to her biography. http://www.alliedartistsofamerica.org/about_us.htm
The office of each of these will have a record of Samizu's membership in that 1970s era. I have not been able to interact successfully to obtain the necessary membership references from them.
Painting Locations: While the ownership and location of two of her works, Ah and Celebrator, are known to be Cristina Chan Johnston of Huntingtown, Maryland, the present ownership of others is less clear. Here is the lead for the painting Triumphal Return
Triumphal Return's last known owner: Andrew Delaney. He was the model for the painting. He was living in upper middle class Long Island New York at time of purchase of painting in 1970s. In 1989 or '90, contacted in Reno, Nevada by Cristina Johnston, Delaney confirmed by telephone continued ownership of Triumphal Return. He also told Samizu by telephone he was leading an sort of movement devoted to the paranormal that had "500 members" in the Reno area. Reno newspapers or other media of that time might have a reference to him and his group as a local oddity. Delaney told Samizu during that call, that he used her name Samizu as their organization's 'keyword'.
Signed her 1970s paintings as "Samizu" Signed several minor paintings created in Maryland in late 80's early 90s with "S. Matsuki" and "S. Huber".
Samizu's parents as educators. School records and other government records in Hokkaido suffered far less loss than those of many other parts of Japan. Hence many of the records described below about Samizu's Father Satoru Matsuki, spouse Masue and their family, including daughter Samizu, are very likely locatable in the towns and cities herein described. The following details are given in hope of enabling the interested in assisting locating important documentation of Samizu and her parents.
Father & Mother. Satoru Matsuki graduated from the Normal School in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, in the early 1930s, with good grades. If you graduated with good grades, it was mandatory that one teach for at least two years. Satoru became a teacher at the Uryu elementary school, where he met and married Masue Matuki. Masue graduated from a small women's 'college' in 1935. Got teaching job in Uryu where Satoru was teaching; quit job once married to raise family.
Satoru belonged to a pacifist organization in the 1930s, apparently called "Jonin". He had to go underground as persecution rose. Members went into hiding. Many were caught and jailed. A fellow teacher in Uryu elementary school was tortured and killed. This name may come available. The Hokkaido records of the Kempeitai, the secret police of wartime Japan's will likely have a record of Satoru Matsuki and family.
Satoru Matsuki Post War. Because of Macarthur's purging of the Japanese educational system of teachers and schoolmasters that actively collaborated with the Tojo wartime government by advocating militarism, imperialism and emperor worship, many educational positions came open to pacifists.
In 1946 he became into vice schoolmaster in Abira, in Eburi precinct southern Hokkaido; a year later became second youngest schoolaster in Japan, as schoolmaster to a thrice bigger school in Ueno, also in Uberi Precinct. He was later school master in Shiraoi. He left schoolmastering and set up educational research center in Noboribetsu, to propagate progressive western educational concepts. The name of organization may come available
He wrote a book on the Ainu, titled translation: "Warriors in the North". Written after retirement, it describes the integration of Hokkaido into Japan, including transactions about education between Japanese government and Ainu Kingdom leaders. Samizu's sister, a resident of New York City, has donated a copy of the book to the New York Library; it may be accessible via their database
Please let me know if any leads emerge to help me obtain these and other documentation
[edit] Samizu Matsuki - source on her 'grand prix' award located.
A 4/22/71 newspaper article (the Locust Valley Leader) documenting Matsuki's winning the Grand Prix at the 1971 Locust Valley Art Show on Long Island, New York is on its way to me, courtesy of the Locust Valley Library. This will be digitized and a link to the news article will be added where apppropriate to her wiki bio page by Friday latest. Penbay
- Greetings, Penbay. Thank you for your work on this article. Samizu appears to me to be notable for her artwork, which flourished in the early 1970s and for which she received a number of awards. I would suggest then that you focus the article on this and particularly seek citations for the awards that she received. Having said that, you appear to have this well in hand and my comments are largely redundant! Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 22:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Located documentary materials for Samizu Matsuki's New York art show wins in 1970 and 1971
At Samizu's suggestion, I ordered a copy of the book: "Artists/USA 1972-73 - Guide to Contemporary Art." Published by Artists/USA, Inc. Feasterville, PA 19047. Library of Congress Catalog Number 78134303. ISSN: 0196-6154
The book includes on page 120 a photograph of her work "A Triumphal Return" accompanied by short summary of her awards and locations of exhibition and gallery placement of her works. She is also listed in the books index of artists on page 213.
I have scanned relevant sections from the book: title page, table of contents, foreword, samizu's entry page and index page with Samizu listed, and made them available on Samizu Matsuki's external website. RH
