Hokusai An Animated Sketchbook (1978)
I am a big fan...of Hokusai. I have posted this in both this animation blog and my art/painting blog because there is so much crossover. Anyone who knows me well, knows i am passionate about craft and the journey of mastering a craft such as animation, drawing and art. Hokusai is the ultimate student learning his craft. Great stuff!
This award winning short film was written, directed, and animated by Tony White all the way back in 1978. The film brings to life the worlds of Japanese master painter, Katsushika Hokusai (1760—1849). Best known for his iconic, The Great Wave, but his other paintings of Edo period Japan are equally as amazing (he left around 30,000 works at his time of death)! His work is so influential, you can still see it influencing todays artists (kozynday / sony bravia bunny wave?). He was also an early pioneer of anime / cartoon porn (might not strictly be true :)), check out Dream of a Fishermans Wife!
