Kubernetes 1.36 logo. The logo, created by avocadoneko / koi Natsuho Ide, draws inspiration from Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūrokkei), the same series that gave the world The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Our v1.36 logo reimagines one of the series' most celebrated prints, Fine Wind, Clear Morning (凱風快晴, Gaifū Kaisei), also known as Red Fuji (赤富士, Aka Fuji): the mountain lit red in a summer dawn, bare of snow after the long thaw. Keeping watch over the scene is the Kubernetes helm, set into the sky alongside the mountain. At the foot of Fuji sit Stella (left) and Nacho (right), two cats with the Kubernetes helm on their collars, standing in for the role of komainu, the paired lion-dog guardians that watch over Japanese shrines. Brushed across Red Fuji in the logo is the calligraphy 晴れに翔け (hare ni kake), "soar into clear skies".
