Sei Yamazaki Artworks / Sei Yamazaki Biography

Seitaro Yamazaki is a conceptual artist based in Tokyo, Japan. He showcases exhibitions and installations across the world. Yamazaki has been trying to find and show the beauty of ambiguity, transience, and the things that were never depicted, spoken, or formed in his works. Yamazaki is the founder and director of Seitaro Design, Inc., radio personality of FM Yokohama “Culture Department” and the Creative Advisor of Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Organization Committee. Seitaro Yamazaki is studying traditional Japanese style ink wash painting at Master Shukou Tsuchiyaʼs school while working in contemporary art, graphic design, and spatial design. Seitaro is also studying ikebana and is a certified associate professor of the Obara school.
