In this episode of Beyond Ghibli I take a look at Miss Hokusai, a truly special piece of cinema about Japan's most famous artist and the daughter that lived in his shadow. PATREON: / beyondghibli TWITTER: / beyondghibli

I love this film more than words can say. And thus, I am always disheartened when I see reviews from people dismissing it as "boring". So I am so happy to see more people giving it the praise it deserves, and finding out that they see same fascinating wonder I see in it myself. And since it is a coming-of-age story of a young woman, I am always excited to know of more men liking this movie too. Thank you for getting the word out and brining more people's attention to this work of art!

In his 80s and 90s, Hokusai lived in his blanket. He would wake, grab his brush and paint from bed until he grew tired, swapped his brush for his pillow and fell back to sleep surrounded by his work. If ever there was a man who embodied 'practise makes perfect' it was him - he was still getting better and better every passing year until he died. Good luck on your own quest :)

What I love about Hokusai is that, by all accounts, he was a genuinely good person. He strived to uplift the work of his hundreds of students, he emphasized that his work should be accessible by all classes of people, and he was a kind person. That's rare for someone that had such a profound impact on not just Japan's culture, but revolutionized artistic expression around the world as well.

When I sat down and watched Miss Hokusai I was expecting something a bit artsy. Something with long scenes of characters just sitting and talking about their art and such. I was expecting to nod and say that it was a good film but it wasn't something that I could actually watch again. What I wasn't expecting was to be completely charmed by the film. Oi was just incredibly likeable and I enjoyed watching her even through the mundane moments. This is a movie I could see being remembered as a masterpiece

I am really happy that somebody besides me likes this movie ;) Slow-paced as it is, everything that happens throughout its run is meaningful. Not a single scene is out of place. It manages to do what even the best slice of life stories struggle with - to capture the essence of ones everyday life, both magical and monotonous elements of it. Honestly, after watching Miss Houkusai I want to watch the world with my eyes wide open and use the time I have here the best I can, and i think this is a testament of how amazing this movie is.

Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely look this film up. I was also inspired to look up Katsushika Oi and was pleased to discover she was recognized as an accomplished artist in her own right and had her own distinctive style separate from her father's. Her "Night Scene on the Yoshiwara" showed a mastery of lighting and contrast, and in some way reminds me a lot of Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks."

I'm taking an art history course on Edo Japan, and we watched this film today in class. It was amazing to see the world of Edo built so well, with 40-page chapters on the Yoshiwara and Ryogoku bridge realized as physical spaces and not just descriptions for, at best, murky mental images. I know the concept of "world-building" is usually attributed to fiction (and technically this is a work of fiction) but goddamn there are so many spot-on details and icons of Edo culture. I fully agree with you calling this film a modern masterpiece. It's certainly an important film; I feel like that final match cut of the old Ryogoku bridge to the modern day version was meant to kinda commemorate and preserve the rich and fascinating history behind it. lol im in love with this film. Great essay too! Glad I found this channel, curious to see more.

I want to love this and highly praise it buts hard choice. The scenes and some dialogues and analogies were so beautiful and authentic, genuine, poetic and intelligent showing the perspective of life and culture in Japan as an artist filled with loneliness, love for nature, sexuality, and also spirituality through art. At the same time, the ending and closure was a bit quiet and weak. The movie remained at constant slow pace entirely with no ups and downs but sophisticated and complex. I do believe this films is the prime epitome of why Japanese anime will and always remain unique and distinguish from any other cultures' form of animation. They told a true story with no action and fantasy but only real life and I can see this succeed as a live action and winning some Oscars and golden globe awards

The beautiful thing I've always loved about anime is they can express a great deal of emotion in something as simple as one's hair being picked up by the breeze. The Japanese seems to understand emotions on a truly deep level and know how to express them on such a deep level that it draws out the deep emotions within us, the viewers.

I just had the wonderful privilege of watching this amazing film right before watching this video again. As usual, the only thing more beautiful & captivating about the wonderful movies & shows Joe recommends is the way he truly captures all that is best about them in his videos. I find myself putting off watching these movies & shows sometimes for months waiting to be in just the right mind frame & head space to fully appreciate them before taking them in, sort of how you'll put off eating a favorite food until you can savor & enjoy it. Beyond Ghibli is my all-time favorite anituber & the longer I've been watching anime & reading manga, the richer & deeper his videos become to me, probably because as I become more seasoned & experienced with this art form, the better I am able to appreciate Joe's genius in critiquing it. Great job, Joe! Keep up the good work! 💙

To anyone who likes this, I do recommend to read the original manga, Sarusuberi (百日紅), by late Hinako Sugiura (杉浦日向子). (I am not sure that there is English versions.) Her knowledge about Edo era, her storytelling and especially her style of drawing are very unique, both subtle and bald, humorous and sad, and wonderful. (More than the movie.) And there are some more episodes that had to be cut from the movie.
