A beautiful film about the great Hokusai and his equally talented daughter. The film shows Japan in the early 1800s: traditional clothing and hairstyles, bridges, merchants and peddlers, etc. There are fantastic sequences of how an artist's mind interprets situations, events, and observations. Japanese folktales are also woven into the story. This is a great little art history lesson as well as a fun escape back in time to a very different world.
