Recounting the story of her life, Oei plunges us into the
colorful world of nineteenth-century Edo, in which courtesans rub
shoulders with poets, warriors consort with actors, and the arts
flourish in an unprecedented moment of creative upheaval. Oei and
Hokusai live among writers, novelists, tattoo artists, and
prostitutes, evading the spies of the repressive shogunate as they
work on Hokusai's countless paintings and prints. Wielding her
brush, rejecting domesticity in favor of dedication to the arts,
Oei defies all expectations of womanhood--all but one. A dutiful
daughter to the last, she will obey the will of her eccentric
father, the man who created her and who, ultimately, will rob her
of her place in history.
Vivid, daring, and unforgettable, The Printmaker's Daughter
shines fresh light on art, loyalty, and the tender and indelible
bond between a father and daughter.
