From award-winning director Keiichi Hara (Colorful) and Japanese powerhouse Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell) comes a remarkable story of the daughter behind one of history's most famous artists. As all of Edo flocks to see the work of the revered painter Hokusai, his daughter O-Ei toils diligently, creating the paintings sold under her father's name. Shy in public, in the studio O-Ei is brash and uninhibited. Seeking to come into her own as an artist, O-Ei sets out into the bustling city of Edo (present-day Tokyo), where she encounters spirits, dragons, con men and traders.

Reviews

Spotlight on Film

Diana Tuova

Miss Hokusai fascinates in the way it presents daily life in Japan in the 1810s and the emergence of Hokusai’s artistic masterpieces.

Miss Hokusai is a highly entertaining film that excels both artistically and in terms of story.

Director Keiichi Hara shapes Miss Hokusai less as a portrait of any one person than as a portrait of a particular time and place, how we in the present relate to that time, and how art bridges the gap.

I cannot praise this film enough. It simply refuses to take the easy way out or to tell a cliché story.

It's a beautiful exploration into the heart of an artist that I think you will enjoy.
