Born in Tokyo in 1916, his study of art began at the age of nine as an apprentice to his master. Bestowed many honors and recognized fully in Japan, Mikami furthered his career in America with his successful one-man shows held throughout the United States and in Europe. He founded the Japanese Art Center in San Francisco in 1957 and since then, his instruction of painting through television has widely covered the United States, Europe and other countries.
