Hokusai's Daughter

More about the book

The story follows Eijo, the youngest daughter of Japanese artist Hokusai, who defies societal norms to pursue her passion for art. Armed with determination and her own set of brushes, she challenges the belief that only men can be great artists. As she strives to prove her worth, Eijo embodies the spirit of resilience, likened to a koi swimming upstream to become a dragon. This beautifully illustrated bilingual tale not only highlights her artistic journey but also educates young readers about Hokusai's influence and Eijo's remarkable contributions to art.
