"Shower Below the Summit" (Sanka hakuu), also known as "Clear Day with a Southern Breeze (Red Fuji)," is one of the most celebrated woodblock prints by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1830-1832 during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." The series explores various atmospheric conditions and the differing times of day, showcasing the majestic Mount Fuji from diverse perspectives and locales.

"Shower Below the Summit" depicts an idyllic scene where the peak of Mount Fuji is bathed in the warm light of the sun, casting a vibrant red hue over the mountain, which is why it is often referred to as "Red Fuji." The red coloration is attributed to the weather phenomenon known as akafuji, where the early morning sunlight strikes the mountain after a storm has cleared the air, resulting in a deep, crimson appearance. This particular print captures a moment of tranquility and beauty, with the mountain's presence dominating the composition, while the surrounding landscape and the tiny figures at the base provide a sense of scale and human presence.

The print is a prime example of Hokusai's mastery of color and composition, as well as his ability to imbue landscapes with emotion and meaning. The series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" was instrumental in establishing Hokusai's fame both in Japan and internationally, and it played a significant role in influencing the Japonisme movement in Europe. "Shower Below the Summit" remains one of Hokusai's most admired works and continues to be a subject of study and appreciation for its artistic and cultural significance.
