Fine Wind, Clear Morning (Red Fuji) by Katsushika Hokusai

Original Woodblock Print — Fine Wind, Clear Morning by Katsushika Hokusai

Fine Wind, Clear Morning. A wearable Hokusai woodblock, in glossy enamel. For your Seiko build.

凱風快晴 (Gaifū kaisei) — “Fine Wind, Clear Morning”, also known as “South Wind, Clear Sky” or simply Red Fuji — is one of the most iconic woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎), made c. 1830–1832 in the late Edo period. It is the second view in his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富岳三十六景), long described as one of the simplest and most outstanding of all Japanese prints.

Given the shared heritage of Hokusai and SEIKO, this dial is a quiet meeting of art and horology — the mountain rendered on a 28.5mm enamel face you can actually wear.

The surface is a highly glossy enamel, with beveled, mirror-polished silver applied indices that catch the light against the artwork. The indices are polished metal rather than lume-filled.

A piece of Edo-period art for your build.
As a standard 28.5mm dial it fits most Seiko cases — add a chapter ring and a matching handset to finish it. Browse the full dial range .

Wearable Hokusai — Red Fuji.
The dial reproduces 凱風快晴 (Gaifū kaisei), “Fine Wind, Clear Morning” — the Red Fuji view from Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, c. 1830 — one of the most celebrated images in Japanese art.

Highly glossy enamel finish.
A deep, reflective enamel surface that gives the artwork real depth and lustre under the crystal — not a flat matte print.

Beveled mirror-polished silver indices.
Applied (raised) hour markers in mirror-polished silver — raised metal, not flat print. They’re polished rather than lume-filled, so pair the dial with lumed hands if you want night legibility.

Standard 28.5mm — fits a wide Seiko range.
A 28.5mm Seiko mod dial that fits the broad 7S/4R/6R/NE/NH movement family and SNK/SKX/SNZ cases. Four dial legs as supplied — clip the two that don’t match your 3 or 4 o'clock crown.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. Dials and hands are sold separately. Since this dial’s indices are polished rather than lumed, a set of lumed hands is worth considering for night legibility. Browse the Hands collection .

Movement (Date). A date caliber — the Seiko NH35. The NH36 day-date fits too (you just won’t see the day); some modders pick it to future-proof a later day-date swap. Browse calibers in the Movements collection .

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

What is the Fine Wind, Clear Morning dial's design and finish?

The Fine Wind, Clear Morning dial reproduces Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock print 凱風快晴 (Gaifū kaisei) — “Fine Wind, Clear Morning”, also called Red Fuji — the second view in his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, c. 1830. It is finished in highly glossy enamel, with beveled, mirror-polished silver applied (raised) hour indices that catch the light against the artwork. The indices are polished metal rather than lume-filled, so for night legibility pair the dial with lumed hands. A standard 28.5mm Seiko mod dial — wearable Edo-period art for your build, offered in No Date, Date and Day Date versions.

Will this dial fit my case?

Yes, almost certainly. This is a standard Seiko mod dial — 28.5mm in diameter and 0.4mm thick, the industry-standard size — so it fits most, if not all, Seiko cases. Where a dial is shown with a particular case, that's an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment requirement. If you're unsure, the surest check is to remove your current dial and measure it with a vernier caliper.

Are the markers applied or printed?

Applied. The hour markers are applied (raised) indices — raised metal on the dial surface, not flat print. The relief is what gives the face its depth and light play as the wrist moves.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a date dial, so it takes a date caliber — the Seiko NH35. The NH36 day-date fits too; you just won't see the day. Some modders deliberately choose the NH36 here to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a day-date dial without changing the movement. Fit NH-compatible hands and you're set.

Why does the dial have four legs?

The dial ships with four legs so it fits two different crown positions. Seiko movements come in 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock crown layouts, and the dial feet sit in different places for each. Clip off the two legs that don't match your crown position — two stay, two go.

How do I fit this to a 3 or 4 o'clock crown movement?

Remove the two legs that don't match your movement's crown position by clipping or gently twisting them off, then seat the dial as normal — two legs stay, two go. Alternatively, set the movement's crown to the 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock position, superimpose the dial on top, and see how the feet line up — whichever way it aligns, note which two legs need cutting and proceed from there. See the How To Mod tab for the full fitting walkthrough.

Does this dial work with a normal or an ultra thin chapter ring?

Both our normal and ultra thin chapter rings fit this dial. Where a dial has applied (raised) indices, they sit within the clearance of either ring — so the choice is purely about looks: the ultra thin chapter ring sits low and discreet, while the normal sits a little more pronounced. Pick whichever suits your style.

Are hands included with this dial?

No — dials and hands are sold separately. This listing is for the dial only; choose a matching handset to complete the build. If your dial is lumed, pairing it with lumed hands in the same lume type keeps the whole face glowing together.

Is this a limited edition / will it be restocked?

Yes, it's a limited edition, and it won't be restocked. Once the run sells out it's retired for good. The edition size is shown on the product page.
