The world-famous woodblock artist Hokusai (1760-1849), a widower in need of a steady income, lives with his daughter Oei in the house of his friend Bakin.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative look at the life of a legendary artist grappling with personal demons and the struggle to create. It feels like a worn, beautiful woodblock print, rich with unspoken emotion and the weight of time.
