is an experimental video art and film artist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mako Idemitsu )〕 ==Life and family== Mako Idemitsu is the daughter of Japanese businessman and art collector Sazō Idemitsu, founder of Idemitsu Kosan. Through her father's collecting Mako came to know Sam Francis and would move into his California home in the early 1960s before becoming his fourth wife in 1966. Mako was subsequently disinherited and disowned by her father.〔-Japanese〕 Idemitsu has two sons from her marriage with Francis, Osamu and Shingo. It was as a young mother that she became a film and later video artist. She was to find that even among the hippies and the liberated counterculture of the 1960s in California, she was to experience male chauvinism, different in nature from that of her homeland, but chauvinism nonetheless.〔-Japanese〕 It was whilst searching for a role outside that of wife and mother, which she had fallen into, that she by impulse bought a Super 8 film camera and began her career as a film artist. Mako Idemitsu returned to Japan with Francis and her sons in 1973, originally planning to stay in Japan for a year. In 1974 when Francis returned to the United States, Mako Idemitsu chose to remain in Japan and the couple would later divorce, with Francis marrying for a fifth time in 1985. On the subject of her father, Mako Idemitsu said that he had a Confucian attitude towards women, and embraced a patriarchal view of the role of men and women that led to the belittling of his wife and daughters. She also said that he acted to deny them their individuality and independence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mako Idemitsu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
