This film describes the colorful life of the Japanese Ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai.
Tetsuzo (played by Ken Ogata), who was born in a poor family, became the stepson of mirror polisher Nakajima Ise (played by Furuno Sakai) when he was young. Later, he became obsessed with painting and studied painting with him, but was expelled by several masters. Later, he fell out with his adoptive father, and lived with his daughter Arong (played by Yuko Tanaka) in the home of his friend Saichi (played by Toshiyuki Nishida) who was a samurai but loved writing.
Tie Zang meets the mysterious beauty Azhi (played by Higuchi Kananko) in the rain, falls in love with her, and becomes obsessed with erotic paintings, which becomes extremely popular. The adoptive father was obsessed with Azhi and committed suicide. Azhi also left without saying goodbye, and Tie Zang's life fell into a low ebb. When he was in trouble, Ah Rong and Zuo Qi (later literary giant Longze Maqin) helped Tie Zang tide over the difficulties. Tie Zang, who traveled around the world, painted famous works such as "Thirty-six Scenes of Rich Prison". Daughter Ah Rong married 82-year-old Zuo Qi when she was seventy years old. Tetsuzo, who was alone and blind, painted his last masterpiece - "Xineng Huizhendao".
