Ai Yamaguchi (b. 1977, Japan) is a Tokyo-based contemporary artist whose work blends traditional Japanese poetry, calligraphy, and symbolism with modern, anime-inspired figuration. With a background in industrial arts focused on textiles and fabric, Yamaguchi has developed distinctive techniques such as blanket-mounted canvases treated with gesso, lending sculptural presence to her paintings. She has exhibited widely across Asia and internationally, with selected solo exhibitions at Mizuma Art Gallery, Tokyo; NADiff Gallery, Tokyo; 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Hong Kong; and Roberts & Tilton, Los Angeles. Her work centers on the inner lives of women, presenting femininity as both delicate and resilient within a richly layered cultural framework.
