SUMMARY:KATSUSHIKA Oei: A Woman Artist in the Floating World
DESCRIPTION:KATSUSHIKA Oei (Ōi) is not a household name. Her father\, however\, is renowned as one of the greatest masters of art — Hokusai. Brought up assisting Hokusai with his trade\, Oei learned all the techniques of painting ukiyo-e\, had access to the inner circle of artists in Edo\, and had opportunities to showcase her skills time and time again\, particularly in the portrayal of women. \nOver time\, Oei’s biology and her relationship with her father obscured her immense talent\, and she has remained in the shadows of history. In this joint presentation hosted by the Japan Foundation\, Toronto and The Japan Society Canada\, novelist Ms. Katherine Govier and art historian Dr. Rosina Buckland (the British Museum) will discuss Oei’s skills\, her contributions to Hokusai’s lifework\, and why she deserves to be celebrated as an artist in her own right. \nThe discussion will be followed by a live Q+A moderated by Ms. Deanna Horton\, Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. \n\nThis is an exclusively online event to begin at 1:00 PM EST on Saturday\, December 12. Registration is required. A link to the talk will be sent to the registered email address 24 hours prior to the start of the event.\n\n\n\nKatherine Govier’s most recent novel is The Three Sisters Bar & Hotel.

An earlier novel\, Creation\, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. She has won the Toronto Book Award and Canada’s Findley-Engel Award for a mid-career writer (1997). In 2018 she was honoured for Excellence in the Arts by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. In 2019 she was made a Member of the Order of Canada. \nActive in her profession\, and always committed to raising the voices of marginalized women\, Katherine has been President of PEN Canada and Chair of The Writers’ Trust. She co-founded the national schools writing program Writers in Electronic Residence and more recently founded\, directed and is Board Chair of The Shoe Project\, a writing and public speaking workshops for immigrant and refugee women. \nKatherine was born in Edmonton\, Alberta and attended The University of Alberta and York University. She has two adult children\, Robin and Emily\, and two grandchildren. With her partner Nick Rundall\, a retired publisher\, she divides her time between Toronto and Canmore\, Alberta\, in the Rocky Mountains. Her upcoming novel again features Katsushika Oei\, woman artist of the floating world\, who rises from her unknown grave to discover what happened to her art during the Meiji era. \n\nPhotograph by Phil Wilkinson\, National Museums Scotland \nRosina Buckland is Curator of the Japanese Collections at the British Museum.
