Mori Mari
Mori Mari ( Japanese 森 茉莉 ; born January 7, 1903 , † June 6, 1987 in Tokyo ) was a Japanese writer.
The daughter of the writer Mori Ōgai attended the Catholic mission school of the order of the Sœurs de Saint-Paul de Chartres . At the age of sixteen she married the Romance studies professor Yamada Tamaki , whom she accompanied on a study trip to Paris in 1922/23. The marriage was divorced like a second with the medicin Satō Akira.
It was not until 1957 that she emerged as a writer with the collection of essays Chichi no bōshi ( 父 の 帽子 , "My father's hat"). Another collection of essays, Kutsu no oto ( 靴 の 音 ), appeared the following year. In 1959 she published her first short story Nōhaishoku no sakana ( 濃 灰色 の 魚 ). For the collection Koibitotachi no mori ( 恋人 た ち の 森 ) she received the Tamura Toshiko Prize in 1962 . Works like Kareha no nedoko ( 枯葉 の 寝 床 , 1962), Zeitaku bimbō ( 贅 沢 貧乏 , 1963), Akuma no kotachi (1964) and the ironic self-portrait Kichigai Maria ( 気 違 い マ リ ア , 1967) followed.
In 1968 the essay volumes Watakushi no bi no sekai ( 私 の 美 の 世界 ) and Kioku no e ( 記憶 の 絵 ) were published. Until 1975 she worked on the novel trilogy Amai mitsu no heya ( 甘 い 蜜 の 部屋 ). In the same year she was awarded the Izumi Kyōka Literature Prize. In her later years, Mori published mostly literary reviews in various magazines.
