"Gaifu Kaisei," also known as "Fine Wind, Clear Morning," is a woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1831, it is part of Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." "Gaifu Kaisei" is often referred to in English as "Red Fuji" due to the distinctive red coloration of the mountain in the image, which is said to depict the mountain early in the morning at sunrise, a time when it can appear red or pink.

The print captures the tranquil beauty of Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and an enduring symbol of the country. Unlike "The Great Wave," which shows human struggle against nature, "Gaifu Kaisei" presents a serene and majestic Fuji, unchallenged by the elements or human presence. The composition is notable for its minimalism and the use of color gradation, known as bokashi, to suggest the early morning atmosphere. The clear sky and the fine wind are suggested by the absence of clouds and the gentle curves of the summit's snow, which contrasts with the solid, vibrant red of the mountain.

"Gaifu Kaisei" reflects Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his deep appreciation for the natural landscape of Japan. The series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" was produced during a time when travel within Japan was becoming more popular, and images of famous sites were in high demand. Hokusai's innovative compositions and use of color helped to elevate the artistic status of woodblock prints, which had traditionally been considered a commercial and popular art form.

Today, "Gaifu Kaisei" is recognized as one of Hokusai's most important works and is held in high esteem by art collectors and enthusiasts around the world. It is frequently exhibited in museums and is considered a masterpiece of Japanese art, representing the Edo period's contribution to the global art canon. The print's influence extends beyond the art world, as it has become an emblem of Japanese cultural identity and has inspired countless reproductions and homages in various media.
