(3214) And for the end...

Nihon_Arekore_03242_Hokusai_and_his_daughter_100_cl

...Hokusai himself, very old, painting under the eye of his daughter, Katsushika Oi (葛飾応為) who was also a painter, first as an apprentice to Hokusai and later with her own career while also being a producer to her father's works. The diorama is life-size and is also at the Hokusai Museum in Ryogoku.
