She Spent 49 Years in a Mental Hospital. It Made Her Immortal.

Yayoi Kusama spent 49 years in a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo — and painted her way to become the most famous female artist in the world. This is the full story of the woman who saw polka dots no one else could see: from a cruel childhood in 1929 Japan, to New York in 1958, the stolen ideas of the 1960s, the quiet daily walk to her studio, and her death on 14 August 2026 at 97. #YayoiKusama #ArtDocumentary #EchoesOfHistory
