[Product Appeal & Recommended Points]
- Recreating a Masterpiece Filled with History and Tradition Through Cross-Stitch
This kit is a cross-stitch embroidery set inspired by South Wind, Clear Dawn, one of the renowned works from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan’s most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. Its greatest charm lies in the ability to personally recreate Hokusai’s timeless worldview, beloved through the ages.
- A Complete Set That Supports Your Creative Process
The kit includes No. 25 embroidery threads (100% cotton), embroidery fabric (No.3000 Java Cloth, medium count, beige, 100% cotton), a cross-stitch needle, and an instruction booklet with a full-color chart. Almost everything you need is included—additional tools required are only scissors, thread snips, an iron, and a frame (Frame W-31). It’s easy to start even for beginners and is suitable for anyone wanting to begin embroidery.
- A Larger Finished Size for Impressive Display Presence
The completed frame’s external size is approximately 41 cm (H) × 48.2 cm (W). The inner size is 36.6 cm (H) × 43.8 cm (W), and including the mat board, it measures 29 cm (H) × 36.5 cm (W). When hung on the wall, it has the presence of “interior art” rather than just embroidery.
- Uniform, Beautiful Fabric Count for High-Precision Results
The included Java Cloth has a count of “9 count / 1 inch (approx. 35 stitches / 10 cm).” This fineness is ideal for recreating the delicate composition and colors of Hokusai’s work, resulting in a sophisticated and highly detailed finish. It’s perfect for those who enjoy fine stitching or who value attention to detail.
