Hokusai Manga (Japanese: 北斎漫画), better known internationally with its exploitative title Edo Porn, is a 1981 biographical drama based on the life of Japanese artist Hokusai directed by Kaneto Shindo. It draws visual and narrative inspiration from the artist's eponymous collection of sketches and focuses on an anachronistic story related to creation of The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
