EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Mount Fuji in Japan, captured by the renowned artist Hokusai in 1823. Titled "South Wind, Clear Sky" but more commonly known as "Red Fuji" this image is part of Hokusai's famous series of woodblock prints called "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". The vibrant red hue of the mountain against a backdrop of clear blue sky creates a striking contrast that immediately draws the viewer's attention. Displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this print represents one of many fascinating pieces featured in Places, a volume exploring the origins and early history of various subjects. It offers an insight into both common and uncommon aspects that shape our world. Hokusai masterfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of awe and tranquility through his depiction. The majestic cone-shaped volcano stands tall amidst swirling clouds, symbolizing its volcanic nature while exuding an air of serenity. This landscape painting beautifully portrays Japan's natural beauty and highlights Hokusai's exceptional skill as an artist. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago, we are transported to another time and place – immersing ourselves in Japanese culture and appreciating the timeless allure of Mount Fuji.
