Beautiful Trailer for the Anime Film MISS HOKUSAI Takes Us Back to Japan in 1814
I've got a great trailer for a beautifully animated anime film for you to watch called Miss Hokusai. The film tells the story of the life and art of Japanese artist and ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai a.k.a. Tetsuzo. The story is set in 1814 Japan and is told from the point of view of his daughter, Katsushika O-Ei.
In case you're not familiar with the name, you might recognize one of his most famous pieces, which is known as "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." This looks like a stunningly made film, and I can't wait to see it. Here's the synopsis:
Set in 1814, Miss Hokusai focuses on Katsushika O-Ei (voiced by Anne Watanabe), the daughter of famed artist Tetsuzo, better known by his pen name Hokusai, as she tries to navigate the various aspects of her life. O-Ei spends the bulk of her time assisting her divorced father who cares about his art and not much else.
The movie is set to be released on October 14th.
