Noguchi Shohin or 野口小蘋 (25 February, 1847 – 17 February, 1917) was a Japanese painter.
Shohin was born in Ōsaka Prefecture in 1847.
Shohin's pictures were bought by the Japanese Imperial family. She was a friend of the statesman Kido Takayoshi and she and Okuhara Seiko enjoyed his patronage. Kido and the two of them would create gassaku which are collaborative paintings that include both pictures and text.
Her surviving paintings seem to show a woman who felt equal to men in her culture. She illustrates women who appear as literati painting, playing music and doing calligraphy. Her paintings show some independence as women's paintings of her time usually followed tradition or the subjects laid down by the artist's schools.
Her daughter, Iku, also became an artist.
In 1982 Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art had an exhibition of her art.
