Emiko Aida is a painter-printmaker living in London. She was born in Jindajii, Tokyo, a town with a Japanese temple dedicated to the Water God. Water is worshipped there, and growing up, Emiko was surrounded by wetlands, streams and rivers. Her family even had a well in their kitchen. Living now in a London she finds arid. Emiko's artistic outpourings show a quest to return to her roots and compassion for humanity.

Her works are the visual equivalent of the Haiku, the Japanese 17 syllable verse.

She invites the viewer to use their imagination and engage with her imagery: dew, raindrops, rainstorms and urban lives.
