Mitsouko Mori discovered French culture throughout movies and books. After many years of superior artistics studies and of teaching painting in Tôkyô high schools, she won a scholarship in 1970. This scholarship, given by French government, gave her the opportunity to spend a year (followed by a second one) in the School of Art and Architecture of Marseille-Luminy. But Mitsouko Mori was willing to settle down in Paris. In 1972, she entered the National Superior School of Fine Arts, where she remained until 1975. Mitsouko Mori is one of the rare representatives of cold abstraction among the Japanese artists of Paris. As many artists of her generation, she attempts to go beyond the narrow field of canvas. Her simple and subtle constructions express a great sense of chromatic harmonies.
Mitsouko Mori regularly participates in the Réalités Nouvelles shows. She often presents her work in Japan, particularly at the Center Point Gallery, Tôkyô. In Paris, Galerie du Haut-Pavé offered her a personal show in 1981. Other one-woman shows happened in Galerie Claude Dorval in 1999 and Galerie Grand Paris, in december 2001. Mitsouko Mori is also a member of the constructivist group Madi, and appears in most of European major artistic events.
Several European museums own Mitsouko Mori's works, as the museums of Utrecht (Netherlands), Wroclaw and Cracow (Poland), Lvov (Ukrenia), Couvin (Belgium). In France, Mitsouko Mori's works are represented in the collections of the City of Paris, of the National Library and of Museum of Cholet.
