Biography

Masashi Andō est né en 1969 à Hiroshima. Il entre en 1990 au Studio Ghibli comme animateur puis character designer. On Your Mark de Hayao Miyazaki est son premier projet important en 1995, dirigeant l’animation et le character design. Il co-dirige ensuite l’animation sur Princesse Mononoké et Le Voyage de Chihiro pour le même réalisateur . Sur ce dernier film, primé aux Oscars du cinéma en 2003, il collabore étroitement avec Hayao Miyazaki sur l’évolution du personnage principal, bien qu’il n’ait pas été satisfait de la fin.

Il quitte Ghibli en 2003 et travaille de façon indépendante auprès de réalisateurs comme Satoshi Kon et Hiroyuki Okiura. Il collabore de nouveau avec Ghibli en 2013 sur Le Conte de la princesse Kaguya d’Isao Takahata et les Souvenirs de Marnie, premier film pour lequel il co-écrit le scénario.

L'histoire commence au Japon en 1814, pendant la période Edo. Edo est la ville actuellement appelée Tokyo. O-Ei est l'une des quatre filles du peintre Tetsuzo, qui se fait ensuite connaître sous le nom de Katsushika Hokusai. Le film se déroule au moment où O-Ei accède à l'âge adulte tandis que son père, âgé d'une grande cinquantaine d'années, est déjà un artiste reconnu dans son pays. Dans son atelier où règne un désordre monstrueux, Tetsuzo passe son temps à créer de somptueuses œuvres d'art. Il est capable de dessiner un ogre sur une surface de 120 tatamis comme de peindre deux moineaux sur un grain de riz, de dessiner des hommes influents, des dragons ou des scènes érotiques. C'est un homme à l'humeur changeante, sarcastique, qui n'est pas mû par la soif de l'argent. O-Ei tient de son père son talent et son obstination. Elle peint très souvent à sa place, sans signer son travail, afin de boucler les commandes ; elle n'obtient donc aucune reconnaissance pour son talent.
