• 内容紹介

  **Creative Child Magazine 2024 Book of the Year - Bilingual Story Books for Kids**
  
  Whether working in his studio or out in the field, Japanese artist Hokusai had a constant companion－his youngest daughter, Eijo. Wherever they went, Eijo brought along her own bag of brushes and the same artistic brilliance and passion as her dad. Hokusai's Daughter tells the story of a clever girl who refuses to believe that only men can create great works of art.
  
  Told that she can't become an artist because she's a girl, Eijo sets out to prove everyone wrong. She's determined to become the proverbial koi that swims up the waterfall and becomes a mighty dragon－fighting against the current to be the person she is meant to be.
  
  This beautifully illustrated bilingual story book celebrates the power of grit and artistic expression, as it introduces young readers to a trailblazing figure who, like her famous father, left a lasting impression in the world of art. Hokusai's Daughter is a timeless tale that teaches kids to believe in themselves and follow their passion.
  
  Includes an appendix to help parents share information with their kids about Hokusai－his influence and style－and his daughter Eijo, as well as traditions about koi and how woodblock prints are made.
