What a terrific tale! Drawings and woodcuts by the 19th-century master along with author Francois Places's energetic modern watercolors decorate and illuminate every page of this illustrated tale of a young orphan Tojiro and his apprenticeship to the elderly Hokusai. Place (a Frenchman) conveys the texture and feel of not only the art of the period but also daily life in late 19th-century Edo.
