Miho Hamaguchi (Japanese: 浜口 ミホ) (March 1, 1915 – April 12, 1988) was a Japanese architect as well as the first female architect to have been licensed as a Class 1 architect in Japan.[1] She was born to a well-to-do family, the Hamadas, in Dalian, China. She started her studies in home economics at what is now Ochanomizu University and would actively attend architectural lectures without enrolling as women were not officially permitted to do so.[2] She went on to practice under Kunio Maekawa and later start her own firm in Aoyama.[3]
