This is an ukiyo-e reproduction of one of Hokusai's most well-known works, a part of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It is said that in the early morning of early autumn, Mount Fuji gradually turns red. It turns red as if to powerfully announce the start of the day. In this painting, dawn has just arrived, and herring clouds are spreading across the sky. The summit of Mount Fuji is still dark, conveying the feeling of dawn, but the sunlight is shining on the mountainside, suggesting the start of a clear, sunny day.

Edo woodblock prints began as simple black prints colored with a brush. These subsequently evolved into tan-e, beni-e, and urushi-e, eventually resulting in a printing technique in which colors were applied directly to the wood, followed by two- and three-color prints (benizuri-e). In 1765, it became possible to print intermediate colors as well as gold and silver, opening the door to multicolor prints.
