Matsumura Go Shun, pupil of Yosa Buson (1716-84) and close friend of Maruyama Ôkyo (1733-95) was the founder of the Shijô School. He was one of the two most influential painters of the Kansai district.
In 1772 Go Shun went to Yosa Buson to study his typical Nanga style as well as haiga, a sketchy painting style related to haiku poetry. In 1782 he took the name Go Shun, reserving his earlier gô Gekkei for haiga paintings.
