Môri Suemitsu was the progenitor (founder) of the [[Mori clan|Môri clan]].

He was the fourth son of [[Oe no Hiromoto|Ôe no Hiromoto]], and took the name Môri from his estate by that name in [[Sagami province]]. Suemitsu took part in the [[Jokyu War|Jôkyû War]] in [[1221]], and in [[1233]] became an official surveyor for the [[Kamakura shogunate]].

He married a daughter of [[Miura Yasumura]], and fought alongside the [[Miura clan|Miura]] against the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô clan]]. Defeated by [[Hojo Tokiyori|Hôjô Tokiyori]], Suemitsu committed suicide on [[1247]]/6/5 at [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]]'s [[Shirahata shrine]] (Hokkedô) along with his Miura allies. His grave ''[[yagura]]'' can be found in [[Kamakura]], a few hundred yards from the grave of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], and alongside those of his father, and of [[Shimazu Tadahisa]], founder of the [[Shimazu clan]].<ref>[http://www.kamakura-burabura.com/meisyokamakuraooehiromotonohaka.htm 大江広元の墓、島津・毛利氏祖の墓].
