Miss Hokusai

In 1814, Edo (now Tokyo) was a bustling city filled with artists, samurais, merchants, and nobles. One artist, Tetsuzo, was particularly talented, but his daughter, O-Ei, was often overshadowed by her father's fame. Despite this, O-Ei was a gifted painter in her own right, inheriting her father's talent and stubbornness. She often painted in place of her father, but was never credited for her work. Decades later, Europe would discover Tetsuzo's art, with renowned artists such as Renoir, van Gogh, and Monet admiring his work. However, few knew of O-Ei's contributions, and her story remained untold. This animated drama brings to life the untold story of O-Ei, a strong-willed woman who struggled to make her mark in a world dominated by her larger-than-life father.
