Kazuko Yamaguchi (1948) is a painter at heart, who treats her maki-e artworks like a canvas. Her works typically display dynamically portrayed flowers and petals, swept by gusts of wind in a recognizable style of iro-togidashi-maki-e that combines white, red, and pink urushi. Lighting up the scenery are small shards of abalone raden and the outlines of the flowers, which are emphasized by lines of golden hira-maki-e.
