In the 1970s, there was a woman who took on the world alone, using her Japanese identity as a weapon.
Sayoko Yamaguchi. Her bewitchingly enigmatic appearance, with black hair and almond eyes, belied the provocative and passionate spirit within.
She became the muse of top creators, stimulating their imagination, and was always ahead of the times. However, her true nature remained mysterious.
Eight years after Sayoko Yamaguchi’s death, her vast collection of clothes, accessories, and other personal effects that were dear to her was opened up for the first time. As a model, she did not merely wear clothes; she used them to create something unique. Now, the time that stopped for Sayoko Yamaguchi has started moving again, allowing us at last to gain an insight into the woman who remained a mystery during her lifetime. In this film, her friend, director Takako Matsumoto, takes us on a journey in search of Sayoko Yamaguchi, incorporating testimonials from her close friends and images of the belongings she left behind.
