But it was Katniss’ voice that puts the series head and shoulders above Bella’s tale of self-sacrifice. This is

The first art published‚ a succession of images of Kabuki actors. After his wife had passed and he was expelled from the Katsukawa school‚ Hokusai became more interested in landscapes and daily Japanese life and less on actors. It was not until his later life and after the height of his fame that he painted
