Accessory Box Inspired by South Wind, Clear Sky (Red Fuji) by Katsushika Hokusai
This exquisite accessory box features a motif from Red Fuji (South Wind, Clear Sky), one of the most iconic works by the legendary ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. The artwork captures a rare natural phenomenon—Mt. Fuji bathed in the red glow of the early morning sun. This striking scene occurs only under specific conditions: clear air and a southern breeze during the late summer to early autumn. It is a fleeting, breathtaking moment known as “Red Fuji.” In Japanese culture, Red Fuji has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune. This is rooted in two traditional beliefs: The Power of Red Red has historically been seen as a color that wards off evil and brings good luck. As such, Red Fuji is believed to offer blessings such as protection from misfortune and the fulfillment of wishes. The Auspicious Shape of the Number Eight Mt. Fuji’s wide, gently sloping silhouette resembles the shape of the Japanese character for “eight” (八), which symbolizes prosperity, success, and the flourishing of future generations. The vivid contrast between the crimson peak and the lush greenery at its base evokes the beauty of seasonal transitions. Finished with elegant Kanazawa gold leaf, this box adds a refined touch to any space—perfect for storing accessories or as an artful interior accent. Each piece is handcrafted with care, making it a cherished gift for art enthusiasts or a meaningful souvenir from Japan. Enjoy the charm of traditional Japanese art in your everyday life. Learn More

The radiant shimmer of the gold leaf enhances each masterpiece, adding both luxury and a new sense of beauty. ● Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) A renowned ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. Trained under Katsukawa Shunshō, he began with portraits of actors, beautiful women, and illustrations. Hokusai studied a wide variety of artistic styles, including those of the Kanō, Tosa, and Rinpa schools, as well as Chinese and Western painting techniques. His dynamic brushwork and powerful compositions led to a unique and highly influential visual style that even inspired the French Impressionists. Famous works include “Hokusai Manga”, “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji”, and “One Thousand Views of the Sea.” ● South Wind, Clear Sky (Gaifū Kaisei) The term “Gaifū” refers to a warm southern wind. Commonly known as “Red Fuji,” this artwork portrays Mount Fuji glowing in deep red as it catches the morning sunlight in late summer to early autumn. At its base, the rich green forest forms a vivid contrast against the red mountain. Wispy cirrocumulus clouds drift across the sky, and a dusting of snow remains on the summit—a scene unique to this time of year. Hokusai masterfully captures a fleeting, seasonal expression of Mount Fuji. ● Product Details This artwork comes with a protective acrylic panel to shield the surface.
