[MrTorleon]

Thank you so much for this superb and beautifully presented documentary, brilliantly filmed throughout with an equally gifted narrative. I have a number of books in my library covering many of the outstanding Japanese artists included in this presentation, and gifted to me by two very dear Japanese friends a number of years ago.
However, I Have been, to my shame, unaware of Katsushika Oi and Uemura Shoen, two astonishingly talented female Japanese artists - their work utterly captivating - their immeasurable skill in the art presented here speaks for itself.
A superior production in every way - my thanks once again - domo aringato ( if I have that correct ) :)
