Migishi Setsuko (三岸節子, January 3, 1905 – April 18, 1999) was a Japanese yōga (Western-style) painter. Known for employing vivid colors and bold strokes for still-life and landscape, Migishi contributed greatly to the establishment and elevation of the status of female artists in the Japanese art scene. Born Setsuko Yoshida in Nakashima-gun (later Oniishi, now Ichinomiya), Aichi Prefecture, into a wealthy family who built a textile factory in Owari, she was the sixth of ten children. Her birth family was a wealthy landowner who ran a woolen cloth manufacturing business. Due to a congenital dislocation of the hip joint, Migishi had a major operation during her infant times at a hospital in Nagoya. After attending Koshin Nakajima Elementary School, she enrolled in Kihatsu Elementary School in 1915 and graduated from the school in 1917. She entered Shukutoku High School for Girls in Nagoya. While at school, her roommate at the school's dorm, Suzu Toda, senior to her, who practiced Nihonga (Japanese-style painting), inspired Migishi to copy the paintings of beautiful women by such female artists as Uemura Shoen and Shima Seien.
