Hokusai's genius was supported by his daughter, O-Ei. The two are believed to have worked on Hokusai's pictures from his middle-age. Female artists were rare in 19th century Japan, but O-Ei continued to produce art in her own right, despite financial and romantic problems. The first historical drama on NHK WORLD TV will be depicting the story of this remarkable woman, who shared Hokusai's life.
