This is a beautiful wall clock featuring the woodblock print South Wind, Clear Sky (also known as Red Fuji) by Katsushika Hokusai. The design of the clock is accented with Japanese kanji characters as numerals. It is approximately 10" in diameter. This would make a great gift or personal item for the lover of classic Japanese artwork.
OUR CLASSIC ARTWORK CLOCKS - Most traditional artwork is rectangular, which leads to the question: "How do you fit a square piece of artwork on a round clock?" Most "fine art" clocks are made by either cropping a circle in the center of the artwork discarding much of the original image, or shrinking the image down and adding plain borders to fill the extra space. We chose to do something different. Our graphic artists start with a high-resolution copy of the original image, and use state-of-the-art software to digitally "mold" the rectangular artwork on the face of a circular clock. Each image is meticulously edited by hand, and care is taken to preserve the integrity of the original artwork while minimizing the distortion inherent in this type of image manipulation. While this method is costly and time-consuming, we think you will agree that our clocks are more attractive and capture the look of the original artwork better than other similar offerings.
