Miyoko Ito (April 27, 1918–August 18, 1983) was an American artist known for her watercolor and abstract oil paintings and prints.

[1][2][3] Ito was part of an informal group of like-minded, but visually diverse Chicago painters, self-named the "Allusive Abstractionists" and formed in 1981.

[4][5] Though tangentially involved with the Chicago Imagists, Ito's own style diverged and synthesized cubism and surrealism.

Just before her graduation in 1942, as a Japanese American, she was sent to the Tanforan internment camp near San Francisco following the signing of Executive Order 9066.

[6] Though imprisoned in the American concentration camps at Topaz during World War II, Ito was granted her diploma.
