Sayoko Yamaguchi (山口小夜子, 1949-2007), Japanese model and actress. She was the first Japanese model to appear at Paris Fashion Week. She began her modeling career in the early 1970s and became the pioneer of world-class Japanese female fashion model.

Her style and elegance is very unique at that time even until now with her black bob hair with straight bangs, narrow eyes with striking eyeliner and red lips. In the mid-1970s she attracted worldwide attention and called as the "oriental mystery". Her visuals were an expression of Japan itself that is unique anywhere in the world.

She called herself as a "wearist" rather than a model, meaning that she expresses her body not only for fashion but also film, dance, music and other forms of art. In 2005 she said "I think it can be said that humans wear their minds on their bodies. Moreover, they wear everything that surround them including the air and light. In other words, "to wear clothes is to live", I can say that".

I always admire women with a strong appearance like this and I also want to be one of them, especially because of the bob hair with straight bangs (this is a common female hairstyle in Japan in the 1970s, which was also greatly influenced by Sayoko-san herself). In these photos which were taken in 1973, Sayoko-san didn't use eyeliner but still radiated elegance. Ah, I love it.
