Synopsis:

Set in the bustling city of Edo in 1814, this anime explores the life of O-Ei, daughter to the renowned artist Tetsuzo, better known as Hokusai. The story unfolds against a backdrop of vibrant urban life, where artists, merchants, and samurai coexist amidst the city's inherent chaos. O-Ei, possessing her father's artistic gifts and independent spirit, often contributes to his work, though largely uncredited. The narrative traces their intertwined destinies as Hokusai's reputation begins to extend beyond Japan, influencing European masters. It’s a character-driven exploration of artistic collaboration, familial bonds, and the quiet sacrifices made in the shadow of greatness, observed through the changing rhythms of daily life. The anime offers a glimpse into a world where talent and passion are constantly navigating societal expectations and personal ambitions.
