Fine Wind, Clear Morning, also known as Red Fuji, is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai, part of his series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and dating from about 1830 to 1832. It depicts Mount Fuji lit red by the rising sun beneath a clear sky lightly streaked with cloud, with no human figures, boats or other landmarks present, and has been described as one of the simplest and at the same time one of the most outstanding of all Japanese prints.
