Yoko Semoto
Yoko Semoto was born in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan in 1930. Yoko graduated from Jiyu Gakuen Girls High School, and entered Musashino Art University, though she did not complete the college degree.
Yoko started to study abroad at Grand Chomiere School of Art in Paris from 1962. While in Paris, she familiarized herself with the European lifestyle, culture, and climate. After returning to Japan in 1966, Yoko self-studied the classical painting techniques of the European Middle Ages. She has been painting in tempera on boards, parchments, and glasses.
She is still very energetic in painting, and has had exhibitions at Takashimaya Department Store in Nihonbashi, and at many art galleries in Ginza, Tokyo. Yoko’s works were also published in many magazines such as “Fujin no Tomo” (Fujin no Tomo Publishing) and “Mistress” (Bunka Publishing Bureau). Some of her works are in the collections of Tsubouchi Memorial Theater Museum of Waseda University (Tokyo), Setagaya Art Museum (Tokyo), Utsunomiya Art Museum (Tochigi), and Okayama Prefectural Art Museum (Okayama).
