Morita served as the art director for the all-girl Takarazuka Revue 宝塚歌劇 at the Hibiya Theater in Tokyo and is credited with the stage design for the very popular 1927 revue Mon Pari (Mon Paris).  His work as art director was lucrative and allowed him to construct a Western-style building in the so-called Ikebukuro Montparnasse, an area on the edge of Tokyo whose cheap rents after the 1923 attracted many artists and was to become an avant garde cultural community. 

There are no known woodblock prints designed by the artist.  His designs for popular magazines and serialized novels were generally mass reproduced by lithography or by offset printing.  As stated by Kendall Brown in Dangerous Beauties and Dutiful Wives, “These technologies were not simply expedient means of mass production, but, in fact, were part of a visual revolution that included the desire to reproduce perfectly the images crated by designers, the skilled artistry of master printers, and the creation of luxury prints meant to function as defacto works of art.”
