{"product_id":"red-fuji-hokusai-print-gaifu","title":"Red Fuji Hokusai Print 'Gaifu'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHokusai print of the red Fuji, the mountain in morning light under small clouds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mountain, red, and nothing else. This is Hokusai's Fine Wind, Clear Morning, the red Fuji: the mountain fills the picture from the right in a red-brown that the early sun turns it for a few minutes on a clear autumn morning, with the snow at the peak drawn as white streaks, a band of dark green forest at the foot, and a deep blue sky above with small white clouds in rows. There are no people, no boats and no bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the other picture the series is known for, and the simplest: three colours and a shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Gaifu, is the fine wind, the first words of the print's title, and the picture is that morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe print is reproduced from the woodblock print on a textured canvas, stretched round a wooden frame with the image wrapping the edges, so it hangs without a frame and without glass. The colours are the print's own: the deep Prussian blue, the cream of the paper, the greens and the rose of the sky. The cartouche with the series title and the artist's signature is printed in the corner, as on the Edo sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang it on a single nail at eye level, alone or in a row of three with two others from the series, which is how they look best. It goes above a desk, a sofa or a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clouds are the detail: small white shapes drawn in ranks across the blue, they are the only thing in the picture that is not the mountain, and they give it its scale. The red is graded from dark at the foot to bright at the shoulder, and the snow at the peak is drawn as fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery print in the collection is photographed on the same wall at the same scale, so the pages compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft dry cloth or a brush; do not wet it. Keep it out of direct sun, which fades the blue over years, and away from a radiator, which loosens the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is a red triangle on blue. From close the red shows its grading, the snow its fingers, and the clouds their rows. It is the print for a person who wants the mountain and only the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree sizes: 40 by 60 cm, 50 by 75 cm and 60 by 90 cm. The smallest suits a shelf or a small wall, the middle a desk, the largest a wall on its own. The image is the same in all three.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"40X60cm","offer_id":59207970128220,"sku":"200000886:200005377#40cmX60cm(No Frame);14:366#02","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50X75cm","offer_id":59207970160988,"sku":"200000886:200005379#50cmX75cm(No Frame);14:366#02","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60X90cm","offer_id":59207970193756,"sku":"200000886:200004519#60cmX90cm(No Frame);14:366#02","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/red-fuji-hokusai-print-gaifu-1.jpg?v=1790585704","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/red-fuji-hokusai-print-gaifu","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
