Hokusai's Daughter : A Young Artist in Old Japan

Author and illustrator: Sunny Seki

Like her artist father Hokusai, Eijo loves to paint – but everyone (except her father) tells her that girls can’t become artists. One day, she gets the chance to prove them all wrong. The appendix explains more about Hokusai and his daughter Eijo, and the traditions around koi and woodblock prints.
