Bidou Yamaguchi (born 1970) is a Japanese artist and master Noh mask carver in the Hōshō tradition, celebrated for his innovative sculptures that blend centuries-old Japanese Noh mask techniques with iconic portraits from European art history, such as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Johannes Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring.

I had the chance to meet Bidou and do some photographs for Metropolis Magazine in Tokyo.
