"Gaifu kaisei" (South Wind, Clear Weather), also known as "Red Fuji," is one of the most celebrated woodblock prints by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created circa 1831, it is part of Hokusai's renowned series "Fugaku Sanjūrokkei" (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji), which includes the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." This series, produced between 1830 and 1832, depicts Mount Fuji from various locations and in different seasons and weather conditions.

"Red Fuji" stands out for its striking use of color and composition. The print captures the majestic presence of Mount Fuji bathed in the warm light of the early morning sun, which turns the snow-capped peak a vibrant red. This phenomenon is known to occur during the late summer when the rising sun casts its rays on the mountain under specific atmospheric conditions. The image is characterized by a strong contrast between the deep blue sky and the rich red of the mountain, with a tranquil green landscape below, suggesting the peacefulness of a clear, windless day.

Hokusai's "Red Fuji" has become one of the most recognizable images in Japanese art and a symbol of Japan's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The print exemplifies Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his innovative approach to landscape art, which influenced not only Japanese art but also European Impressionism and Post-Impressionism after Japanese woodblock prints became known in the West.

The "Fugaku Sanjūrokkei" series, and "Red Fuji" in particular, reflect Hokusai's lifelong fascination with Mount Fuji, which he considered a sacred mountain and a source of immortality. The series contributed significantly to Hokusai's fame both in Japan and internationally, and it remains a high point of his artistic career. Today, "Red Fuji" is highly prized by collectors and is held in the collections of many major museums around the world, continuing to captivate viewers with its bold design and vibrant hues.
