She is the daughter and disciple of Katsushika Hokusai. And a female artist with exceptional talent, Katsushika Oi. A moving drama that depicts the mysterious her life.
Born as the third daughter of Katsushika Hokusai, one of the world's leading painters in Japan's ukiyo-e world, O-Ei (later Katsushika Oi) continued to support Hokusai as a disciple for about 30 years from her twenties. It is said that most of Hokusai's paintings in his later years were finished by O-Ei. He is the person who knows Hokusai's talent most closely. However, her life is still shrouded in mystery, as there are few documents about her life and she disappeared after Hokusai's death. In addition, O-Ei was a very rare female artist at the time, leaving behind ukiyo-e prints with a completely different image from Hokusai's as Katsushika Oi, a painting name bestowed on her by her father. The movie "Hokusai’s Daughter" is the first Japan film to depict the life of O-Ei (Katsushika Oi). Except for painting, they were indifferent to almost everything in their lives. The image of the heroine who ran through that era as a pioneering female painter, and the dense life of a father and daughter. Depict that belief.
