Mishima began her career directing documentaries for NHK. Her film Dear Etranger (2017) won the Special Grand Prix of the Jury at the Montreal World Film Festival. In 2022, a retrospective of her work was held in Italy, and Voice (2024) was selected for the Competition at the Udine Far East Film Festival. She captures human contradictions and social fissures with a keen eye and a refined visual style.
