"South Wind, Clear Sky" (Japanese: Gaifu kaisei), also known as "Red Fuji," is one of the most celebrated woodblock prints by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1830-1831 during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjūrokkei), which includes the famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." "South Wind, Clear Sky" depicts Mount Fuji in the early morning hours under the tranquil influence of a southern breeze, with the mountain's peak glowing in a warm red hue against a clear blue sky.

The composition of "South Wind, Clear Sky" is characterized by its simplicity and the bold use of color, which was a result of the introduction of Prussian blue pigment (bero-ai) to Japan from Europe. This pigment allowed Hokusai to explore a new range of color gradations and contrasts, contributing to the print's striking aesthetic. The image captures the majestic and timeless presence of Mount Fuji, a subject of deep cultural and spiritual significance in Japan, and a symbol of national identity.

As one of Hokusai's most iconic works, "South Wind, Clear Sky" exemplifies the artist's innovative approach to landscape art and his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique. The print has been widely reproduced and admired, influencing not only the development of Japanese art but also leaving a lasting impact on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Today, "South Wind, Clear Sky" is held in high regard as a masterpiece of Japanese art and remains an enduring image in the global cultural imagination.
