Sam Films: Miss Hokusai
From award-winning director Keiichi Hara and the creators of Ghost in the Shell comes the little-known story of the daughter of one of history’s most famous artists. As all of 19th-century Edo (present-day Tokyo) flocks to see the work of the revered painter Katsushika Hokusai, his daughter O-Ei toils diligently inside his studio. Her masterful portraits, dragons, and erotic sketches—sold under the name of her father alongside his actual creations—are coveted by upper-crust lords and journeyman printmakers alike. Shy and reserved in public, O-Ei is as brash and uninhibited as her father when she’s in the studio, smoking a pipe while sketching drawings that would make a samurai blush. Miss Hokusai explores O-Ei’s relationships with her demanding father and blind younger sister to offer a powerful and emotional coming-of-age tale.
