Specialist note

Born in Kyoto, Yamaguchi apprenticed under painters Kikuchi Hobun (1862-1918) and Kikuchi Keigetsu (1879-1955). A regular participant in national exhibitions, he was notably recognized for his exquisite paintings of birds and flowers. One of his paintings, titled 'Poppy,' was selected for inclusion in the Kigen nisenroppyakunen hoshukuten (Exhibition Commemorating Twenty-Six Hundred Years of Imperial Lineage) and was acquired by the Imperial Household in 1940.
