{"product_id":"bucket-hat-fuji-postcard","title":"Bucket Hat 'Fuji Postcard' - 富士山","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMount Fuji with everything around it, embroidered as a postcard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMount Fuji\u003c\/strong\u003e (富士山, Fuji-san), at 3,776 meters the highest point in Japan, is the natural symbol most universally attached to the country. A volcano dormant since its last eruption in 1707, it stands over the Honshū plain from Shizuoka Prefecture. That almost geometrically perfect cone has driven more than a thousand years of art, most famously Hokusai's \u003cem\u003eThirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji\u003c\/em\u003e, published between 1830 and 1832.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mountain has been on the \u003cstrong\u003eUNESCO World Heritage list\u003c\/strong\u003e since 2013 — not as a natural site but as a cultural one, an unusual distinction that acknowledges what it means spiritually and artistically rather than geologically. Fuji has been sacred in Shinto since antiquity, and the Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha shrine sits at its foot. Each summer the official climbing season from July to September takes around 250,000 hikers up the slopes, many setting off at midnight to reach the summit for \u003cem\u003egoraikō\u003c\/em\u003e, the sunrise seen from the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery loads the \u003cstrong\u003ecomposition\u003c\/strong\u003e deliberately: the volcano stylized in blue and white at the center, a red sun to the left, a five-tier red pagoda to the right, cherry branches below, and a vermilion torii standing in front of the mountain. Beneath it, MOUNT FUJI in navy serif capitals with Japan in italic and a small hinomaru flag. It is a vintage tourist postcard, and it is entirely unembarrassed about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape carries the density of color — blue mountain, red sun and pagoda, pink blossom, vermilion gate. Wear it with an oversized navy sweatshirt, straight jeans and white sneakers, or with a pale blue oxford shirt and beige chinos for a preppier read. The brim earns its place on trips and at altitude. Made for people heading to Japan, for hikers who collect volcanoes, and for anyone who has come back from Kawaguchiko, Hakone or Gotemba.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756638953819,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756638986587,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756639019355,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756639052123,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-fuji-postcard-black.jpg?v=1786455148","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-fuji-postcard","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
