Maki Kahori — Tokyo, Japan

"I don't think we should separate the Japanese scene from any others in the world - we are all connected to each other now via the Internet."

That confident strokes of black and white that perfectly capture and enhance the feminine beauty is the signature work of Maki Kahori. Kahori studied fine arts at the Art Student League of New York. Since returning to Japan in 1994, Kahori has worked as an active freelance artist, producing a wide variety of illustrations, installations and paintings.
