Mori Ippo was born in 1798 in Kyushu but lived and worked in Osaka. He studied the Maruyama-Shijo style under Mori Tetsuzan (1775-1841) and became one of the 'Ten Great Disciples' of Maruyama Okyo. Ippo married his master's daughter and was adopted into the Mori family to carry on the Maruyama-Shijo tradition in Osaka after Tetsuzan's death.
