* CoolOldLady: She's in her nineties but she still creates mind-bending, avant-garde art in brightly-colored wigs.

* MindScrew: The polka dot patterns in her works, especially those involving rooms, are noted to obliterate the silhouette of anything covered in them, creating the illusion of infinite space and crushing flatness at the same time.

* HallOfMirrors: Her ''Mirror/Infinity'' rooms are meant to invoke this, endlessly reflecting suspended lights.
* MadArtist: Kusama is open about her mental health. Her polka dot motif is based off of visual hallucinations she suffered from as a child. Since 1973, she lives out of a mental hospital in Tokyo and continues to create art in a nearby studio.

Kusama was raised in Matsumoto, and trained at the Kyoto School of Arts and Crafts in a traditional Japanese painting style called nihonga. Kusama was inspired, however, by American Abstract impressionism. She moved to New York City in 1958 and was a part of the New York avant-garde scene throughout the 1960s, especially in the pop-art movement.[3] Embracing the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s, she came to public attention when she organized a series of happenings in which naked participants were painted with brightly colored polka dots. Since the 1970s, Kusama has continued to create art, most notably installations in various museums around the world.

* AbusiveParents: Since both of her parents where forced into a BureaucraticallyArrangedMarriage, her father would womanize while her mother would take out her aggression on Yayoi.
* {{Motifs}}:
** Polka dots polka dots ''polka dots''. Every work of art -- from her paintings to her sculptures -- are covered in polka dots.
** Pumpkins are arguably the most famous example of representational work she has made, notably the yellow and black examples from the 80's.
