Junko Mori is a Japanese artist based in Wales working primarily in metalwork sculpture. Her works are aggregate pieces usually connected thematically and visually to her observations of living matter, particularly plants.

Her choice of metal varies widely from silver to mild steel, as does the size and scale of her works, which range from smaller tabletop pieces to large sculptures.
