Le réalisateur Keiichi Hara (Un été avec Coo, Colorful) est associé à Production I.G pour produire le long-métrage d'animation 'Miss Hokusaï'. Ce film est basé sur le manga original 'Sarusuberi' par Hinako Sugiura, et sur un script de Miho Maruo.
L'histoire se déroule en 1814 dans la ville de Edo, maintenant connu sous le nom de Tokyo.
Histoire (v.o) : One of the highest populated cities in the world, teeming with peasants, samurai, townsmen, merchants, nobles, artists, courtesans, and perhaps even supernatural things. A much accomplished artist of his time and now in his mid-fifties, Tetsuzo can boast clients from all over Japan, and tirelessly works in the garbage-loaded chaos of his house-atelier. He spends his days creating astounding pieces of art, from a giant-size Bodhidharma portrayed on a 180 square meter-wide sheet of paper, to a pair of sparrows painted on a tiny rice grain. Short-tempered, utterly sarcastic, with no passion for sake or money, he would charge a fortune for any job he is not really interested in.
Ce film d'animation est attendu dans les salles japonaises pour mai 2015.
