Fine Wind, Clear Morning (Hokusai, Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji)

In the late Edo period, the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai created his famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," and three particularly popular pieces from this series, "Fine Wind, Clear Morning," "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," and "Shower Below the Summit," have been woven in Nishijin textiles. These present a distinct texture not found in prints, while the lavish use of leaf imbues them with a rich visual depth, fully capturing the allure of Nishijin's fine weaving. You can enjoy famous ukiyo-e artworks from a different perspective.

Fine Wind, Clear Morning:

The "fine wind" refers to the southern wind, and this piece depicts Mount Fuji dyed in the morning glow of summer, known as "red Fuji." Platinum leaf yarn is woven into the billowing clouds, and gold leaf yarn is woven into the reddish mountain surface of Fuji, creating a sense of overflowing light from the screen, making it a beautiful piece.
