He initialy pursued a career in landscape architecture. Mori based his research about Japanese garden history on a dual analysis of gardens and architecture. He did not focus on only one period but developed a historical discourse which considers the whole Japanese history. For the surveys, he put an emphasis on topography in order to understand the original state of the gardens. He made practical use of the first excavation surveys and the new information they provided. From investigation to restoration, Mori lead global and systematic research about historical garden preservation. In 1953, he received a PhD in Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology for his research on Katsura Imperial Villa.
