Mayumi Yamakawa studied Japanese techniques and forms of expression of fine art with the painter Hozan Matsumoto in her home town, Kobe.

Following her relocation to Germany in the late Eighties, Yamakawa immersed herself in the use of traditional and modern European methods and recipes to make her own paints, and in handling these paint "raw materials". As a result she discovered egg tempera and tempera grassa (egg oil tempera) as effective mediums for painting, and at the same time broadened her artistic range.
