Miss Hokusai (2015)

watched on Netflix l0/21/2017



Beautiful anime both for lovers of traditional anime and the artists known as Katsushika Hokusai and his daughter Katsushika Oi. The artwork that Hokusai is most known for is called The Great Wave. It is almost a puzzle hunt, looking for the art among the beautiful images of this film.  Hokusai focused artwork on landscapes and images of Japanese people from all levels of society.  However, this is primarily an anime about family, living your life and dedication.  While there is a sadness, the movie does end on a positive feeling.  No doubt assisted by the soundtrack. The details of Hokusai's life are not in documentary/fact format, but the viewer will get a true feel for his art and life by just watching and absorbing.
