“Hokusai’s Daughter,” written and illustrated by Sunny Seki, will be published by Tuttle on Oct. 8.
A girl with grit, determination, passion and a paintbrush can achieve amazing things!
Whether working in his studio or out in the field, Japanese artist Hokusai had a constant companion — his youngest daughter, Eijo. Wherever they went, Eijo brought along her own bag of brushes and the same artistic brilliance and passion as her dad. “Hokusai’s Daughter” tells the story of a clever girl who refuses to believe that only men can create great works of art.
Told that she can’t become an artist because she’s a girl, Eijo sets out to prove everyone wrong. She’s determined to become the proverbial koi that swims up the waterfall and becomes a mighty dragon — fighting against the current to be the person she is meant to be.
Katsushika Oi (Eijo) created many remarkable artworks and had a hand in her illustrious father’s later work. This beautifully illustrated bilingual story book celebrates the power of grit and artistic expression, as it introduces young readers to a trailblazing figure who, like her famous father, left a lasting impression in the world of art. “Hokusai’s Daughter” is a timeless tale that teaches kids to believe in themselves and follow their passion.
Includes an appendix to help parents share information with their kids about Hokusai — his influence and style — and his daughter Eijo, as well as traditions about koi and how woodblock prints are made. Samples of Eijo’s work will include images from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Menard Art Museum, and the Tokyo National Museum.
