Book Image Response 3 : South Wind, Clear Dawn

This is a woodcut print done by Katusushika Hokuai in c. 1830-1832. The design depicts Mount Fuji in early morning light which also lends to its other common name, Red Fuji.

The artist's signature appears in the top left corner in the sky above the pine trees on the food of the mountain. This is one of his most famous pieces and he's known for being one of the first artists to depict every day occurrences.

Katusushika was one of the first world renown Japanese artists.
