Miss Hokusai

Overview
This animated historical drama, set in 1814 Tokyo (then known as "Edo"), captures the lives of legendary painter Katsushika Hokusai and his two daughters via a series of vignettes. While O-Ei, a talented artist in her own right, helps him with his work, O-Nao is ignored by her father due to her blindness. Directed by Keiichi Hara, MISS HOKUSAI was adapted from the manga series SARUSUBERI by Hinako Sugiura.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[An] unusual, visually adventurous animated feature, simultaneously modern and steeped in Japanese culture and history." - 10/13/2016 Los Angeles Times
"[A]n undeniably unique biopic, and not merely because it’s an animated one." - 10/14/2016 RogerEbert.com
"[B]y spending so much time with its title character, MISS HOKUSAI suggests that there’s also an art to facilitating someone else’s work, and becoming a skilled craftsperson." -- Grade: B+ - 10/12/2016 A.V. Club
"The stories are told with bold, coherent graphics and buoyed by music that’s sometimes anachronistic but always right. O-Ei is voiced with sensitivity and confidence by Anne Watanabe, daughter of the actor Ken Watanabe, and all of the other voice roles are beautifully done." - 10/13/2016 New York Times
