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.

"South Wind, Clear Sky" (Gaifū Kaisei) by Katsushika Hokusai
Gaifū Kaisei, commonly known as Red Fuji, is one of the most celebrated works by Katsushika Hokusai. The term “gaifū” refers to a southerly wind, and the scene captures a rare seasonal phenomenon—Mt. Fuji glowing red in the early morning sunlight during late summer to early autumn. Lush green forests at the mountain’s base create a striking contrast with the vivid red slopes, while delicate cirrocumulus clouds drift across the sky. A light dusting of snow remains on the summit, reflecting the subtle transition between seasons. This composition beautifully captures a fleeting moment in nature, showcasing Mt. Fuji’s ever-changing presence.

・Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849)
A leading ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period, Hokusai studied under Katsukawa Shunshō and began his career with actor portraits, bijin-ga (images of beautiful women), and book illustrations. He later absorbed influences from various schools of art, including the Kanō, Tosa, and Rinpa styles, as well as Chinese and Western painting techniques. Through bold composition and dynamic brushwork, he developed a highly original visual style. His influence extended far beyond Japan, reaching the French Impressionists and beyond. Major works include Hokusai Manga, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, and One Hundred Views of the Oceans (Chie no Umi).
