Hoezo in KINO

Tetsuzo became best known by one of his many names: Katsushika Hokusai. He would inspire many artists, including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Claude Debussy, Charles Baudelaire and Rainer Maria Rilke. His iconic wood cut The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1832) is still often on view in major exhibitions and popular in marketing campaigns and merchandizing. Adapted from the graphic novel Sarusuberi by Hinako Sugiura, Miss Hokusai is a unique portrait of one of the most unique artists of Japanese art history, but also a plea to reassess the role that many unknown female artists have played in popularizing the work of their male counterparts.
