This is how culture progressed, from the 19th century to the 21st: through astonishing feats of imagination, and the slow grind of physical labor.

...an undeniably unique biopic, and not merely because it’s an animated one.

...an interesting work, delicately and discreetly animated, with a quiet visual coup in its final moments when the Edo (as it was then called) of 1814 is dreamily replaced by the Tokyo of the 21st century.

...a sumptuous tapestry of color, shadow, and light, a befitting tribute to the Edo artist best known for the woodblock print titled 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'.

Frequently asked questions

What is Miss Hokusai about? Toggle content

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.
