Miss Hokusai

A quiet, two-issue series from Editions Philippe Picquier, Miss Hokusai (2019–present) adapts the life and world of the legendary ukiyo-e artist Hokusai through the eyes of his daughter and fellow painter, O-Ei. The story focuses on their creative partnership and the daily rhythms of Edo-period Japan, with art that echoes the woodblock-print aesthetic. The series is notable for bringing a lesser-known historical figure and a nuanced, domestic perspective on artistic genius to a French comics readership.
