Naoko Matsubara (松原直子) was born in 1937 in Tokushima Prefecture in Shikoku. Matsubara graduated from the Kyoto University of Applied Arts in 1960. She then pursued an MFA in the School of Fine Arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh on a Fulbright Travel Grant, and since then has traveled extensively and taught at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn—a rare distinction for a Japanese woman. She also studied one year at the Royal College of Art, London.

Worth mentioning is the artist’s Kyoto heritage. Naoko Matsubara’s father was the chief priest in a Shinto shrine in Kyoto. Shrines and temples became one of the major themes of Matsubara’s works. Naoko Matsubara’s style is obviously influenced by her teacher Munakata Shiko (1903-1975), who worked in the mingei (folk art) tradition.
