【History of the product】
Wood inlay is a traditional technique in which various types of trees are cut along a pattern and then inlaid onto a single piece of wood to create a picture or design.
It is produced following the production method of Kanagawa Prefecture's traditional craft "Hakone wood inlay".
It has been produced in Hakone since 1889.
【Features and Design】
One of the woodblock prints from the Edo period ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series, reimagined in the form of marquetry art.
“Fine Wind, Clear Morning” is also known as “Red Fuji”. Red Fuji refers to the sight of Mount Fuji in the morning during late summer and early autumn, where clouds, fog, and sunlight from the rising sun combine to make Mount Fuji seem as though it is stained red, and it is considered a lucky sight in Japan.
Fine Wind refers to the southerly wind of the summer.
The direction in which the wind blows is expressed using the grain of the wood. This is a piece in which cirrocumulus clouds are depicted in a sky where a southerly wind blows alongside the auspicious sight of a red Mount Fuji – how about purchasing and displaying this piece?
Five materials are used: camphor, red camphor, hoo, walnut, and kobushi.
Production time is 21 days.
