The film is based on the original manga, <em>Sarusuberi<\/em> (Crape Myrtle) by Hinako Sugiura, and it is scripted by Miho Maruo (<em>Colorful<\/em>). The main staff includes character designer and chief animator Yoshimi Itazu (<em>Denno Coil<\/em>, <em>The Wind Rises, Dreaming Machine<\/em>) and background artist Hiroshi Ono (<em>A Letter to Momo<\/em>, <em>Wolf Children<\/em>). Focussing of little-known but incredibly talented Hokusai\u2019s daughter O-Ei, <strong><em>Miss Hokusai<\/em><\/strong> was theatrically released in Japan on May 9, 2015 and had its international premiere in competition at the 39th Annecy Animation Film Festival, where it was greeted with the Jury Award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>SYNOPSIS OF THE SHORT STORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Katsushika Hokusai is one of the most globally famous Japanese artists. His works inspired Monet and Debussy. His <em>Great Wave off Kanagawa <\/em>is so iconic that it can be seen on t-shirts and coffee mugs all over the world. However, very few are aware of his daughter, and how she contributed to her father\u2019s art. This is the story of O-Ei, Master Hokusai\u2019s daughter; a lively portrayal of a free-spirited, utterly outspoken and highly talented woman unfolding through the changing seasons: \u201cWe\u2019re father and daughter; with two brushes and four chopsticks, we\u2019ll get by anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>DIRECTOR\u2019S PROFILE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Born in 1959, Hara\u2019s early credits include hit family series, such as <em>Doraemon<\/em> and <em>Crayon Shin-chan<\/em>. He then shifted to independent filmmaking, pursuing more personal projects. International recognition came with <em>Summer Days with Coo<\/em> (2007) and Annecy-winning <em>Colorful<\/em> (2010), both awarded at the Japan Academy Prizes, and theatrically distributed in France and other countries. His latest directorial effort, <em>Miss Hokusai<\/em>, received the Jury Award at Annecy 2015. Hara admires classic filmmakers such as Yasujiro Ozu and Keisuke Kinoshita, to whom he dedicated his first live-action movie in 2013, <em>Dawn of a Filmmaker: The Keisuke Kinoshita Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3781\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/11\/border3.png\" alt=\"border3\" width=\"850\" height=\"5\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>This is a press release from The Japan Foundation Manila<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japan Foundation, Manila (JFM) invites everyone to the special screening of the award-winning animation film \u201cSarusuberi: Miss Hokusai\u201d on February 27 (Saturday) from 3:30p.m. at the Shang Cineplex Cinema 1 (6th level of the Shangri-La Plaza Mall, EDSA, Mandaluyong City) as part of the Nihongo Fiesta 2016, JFM\u2019s annual event celebrating the colorful culture and arts of Japan and showcasing the Japanese language.
