Oei, Hokusai's daughter, faces her easel in a dilapidated studio. The brush trembles in her hand — not from age, but from fury. Her father, the great old man, has turned their home into a labyrinth of scrolls and ink stains, dismissing her own paintings as mere pale reflections of his genius. 1820s Edo. This 2025 historical drama explores not just the birth of ukiyo-e, but the birth of an artist in the shadow of a titan. Every stroke for Oei is a battle: against her father's legacy, the conventions of her time, and her own doubts.
