Miwa Yanagi was born in 1967 Kobe City, Japan. She completed her postgraduate course work at the Kyoto City University of Arts (Yanagi). Miwa Yanagi is known mainly as a photographer and video artist.

Miwa Yanagi creates an elaborate, thoroughly thought out, and often costly staged event using female models ranging in different ages. These female models may display ages quite different from their own in the photos. After the picture or video is taken, the image may or not be altered by a computer. If the computer is used, then a massive amount of time is spent working on the photo to alter the image in strange ways ( Bergquist ). The large amount of time spent working on the photo also insures that the final piece looks as realistic as possible, and the alterations that are merged with the actual images fit perfectly. The end result is a surrealistic image of everyday life.
