【Outline】

Fanatic Artist Hokusai tells a fictional story based on historical events mixed with imaginative interpretations about the artist’s work, in addition to a surreal plot twist.

At the Lecture hall at the museum, a researcher of Hokusai conducted a class. His pupil who had a dream to be an artist, played a role of facilitator assistant as she felt strange with the word: Genius which he used in the class. Because of this feeling, she sometimes came into conflict with him.Suddenly the stage went to "the city of Edo”. The Tenpo Famine, publication control and death of a friend. In such various suffering, Hokusai kept drawing while moved houses and changed his name. Next to him, her daughter Oei supported his life. What Hokusai had been pursuing for until his end?Story approached the magnificent end having conversations of 2 groups “Hokusai and Oei” and “researcher and his assistant”.
