Ukiyo-e Furoshiki Wrapping Cloth – "Red Fuji" (South Wind, Clear Sky) by Katsushika Hokusai, from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, approx. 48 x 48 cm

"South Wind, Clear Sky", also known as "Red Fuji," is a masterpiece that captures the grandeur and mystique of Mount Fuji through a simple yet powerful composition.
"Red Fuji" refers to the natural phenomenon that occurs in late summer to early autumn, when the mountain is bathed in the red hues of the morning sun. While it is unclear whether Hokusai intentionally aimed to depict this moment, the seasonal atmosphere is expressed through details like the snow patches and wispy altocumulus clouds.

The woodgrain-like texture on the mountain’s slopes—likely the result of the woodblock carving—adds a subtle depth, showcasing Hokusai’s delicate artistry.

This furoshiki is ideal not only as a tapestry or for framing, but also for everyday use such as wrapping bento lunch boxes, book covers, or gift wrapping.
