Beautiful animation with interesting music. The plot was not what I assumed, but was realistic with a wide range of emotions.

During the late Edo period (c.1600-1868), O-Ei, the daughter of a famous painter, tries to make her own mark in art history. This film was made more interesting by the fact it is based on actual persons. The famous painter became known as Hokusai. You've likely seen his "wave" painting (one of my screenshots is an homage in the film). The film lacks an overall plot and is more episodic in it's portrayal of the relationship between O-Ei and her father, her mother, and her blind sister. It features a bit of mysticism as well but isn't a fantasy. It's an effective and emotional portrait of two persons unfamiliar to most of the west.

This is a nice anime film - its got one or two mildly risque images, hence the 12 rating. The plot I found a little confusing but I enjoyed it for the nice landscapes and charming music, which is mostly light, airy and playful, traditional instrumental type music, with a sense of reminiscence I felt. I enjoyed the depictions of paintings - of course there's an irony, with such an animated film in itself depicting paintings within it. Most of the film features young children and indeed childhood innocence is a big part of the film. I thought some scenes were quite endearing, one example being seeing a young child playing with snow. I was a bit disappointed that it seemed the viewer wasn't shown too much time with the famous painter himself, Katsushika Hokusai. Of course the film is called Miss Hokusai and so it focusses on his daughter but I would have been interested to have seen a bit more of things from his perspective, although the story of the daughter, O-Ei, is interesting too. These people are, of course, real people, there was a famous painter called Hokusai etc. and so that appealed to me, as I love a good true story. I liked that at the end, there's more information given by way of text, which I assume to be accurate. I would recommend this to fans of anime who like a good 'based on a true story' film, although if your hoping for a thorough in depth film about Katsushika Hokusai's life then this may well disappoint you.
