Yoshiko Shimada (b. 1959) is a Japanese printmaker and performance artist who has been referred to as “Japan’s premier feminist and antiwar artist.” Shimada has been exploring issues of gender, power, history, and nation in her artwork since the late 1980s, situating her artwork within her own complex socio-political context of being Asian, Japanese, and a woman. Her works have been exhibited expansively, both within Japan and internationally. Shimada has curated art exhibitions in Japan and abroad, and she lectures on Japanese art, politics, and feminism at the University of Tokyo.
