EDITORS COMMENTS
South Wind, Clear Dawn (Fujisawa Kawarazaki Hokusai's 'Red Fuji' from the series 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji'), circa 1830-1831, is a seminal work by the legendary Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This iconic color woodblock print captures the breathtaking beauty and power of Mount Fuji, Japan's most famous geological feature, as it emerges from the mist-covered landscape at dawn. The title "South Wind, Clear Dawn" refers to the weather conditions depicted in the print: a clear sky with a gentle southern breeze, a common precursor to the arrival of spring. The mountain, known as Fugaku Sanjurokkei or the "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," is shown in all its majesty, its snow-capped peak piercing the heavens. The surrounding scenery is dotted with traditional Japanese buildings, trees, and clouds, adding depth and texture to the composition. This print is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, which he used to create intricate, detailed images that captured the essence of his subjects. The use of color, particularly the bold red hue of the mountain, adds a sense of vibrancy and energy to the scene. South Wind, Clear Dawn is an important work of Ukiyo-e, the genre of Japanese art that focused on the everyday life and landscapes of the Edo period (1603-1868). It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring allure of its natural wonders. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, landscape painting, or the natural world.
