Biography
Michiko Matsumoto was born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, in 1950. In the early 1970s, she attended women's liberation gatherings and published the photographs she took there. In 1978, she published a collection of photographs of the feminist movement titled のびやかな女たち/ Women Come Alive.[1]
In 1974 Matsumoto graduated from Hosei University (Tokyo).[2]
In the later 1970s, she travelled to locations including New York and Paris to photograph prominent feminists, artists and dancers.[1] Michiko's work aimed to counter the presentation of women's bodies in mass media and to show community.[3]
She has published 13 books of photography. Her works are in the collections of a number of museums internationally. She is currently based in Tokyo.
