Can obsession with art make us forget love?
"The Life of Hokusai" attempts to answer this question by exploring the intimate world of one of the world's most brilliant and tormented artists: Katsushika Hokusai.
Hokusai saw himself as a bridge between heavenly and earthly powers. The embodiment of a dragon!
He had nothing to fear until the sudden death of his wife...
Despite this immense love, Hokusai was so absorbed in his art that he neglected the illness of Koto, his wife, who had always supported him with admirable devotion.
...one bad morning, Koto suddenly dropped dead, and from that day on, Hokusai was tormented by the memory of having neglected his beloved.
