By her own account, Kusama began painting as a child. She had little formal training, studying art only briefly (1948–49) at the Kyōto City Specialist School of Arts, where she learned about Nihonga, a style of traditional Japanese painting. She had a number of solo exhibitions in her hometown of Matsumoto, Japan, before she relocated to New York City.
