Kwantung Government Prison Officer Hat Badge Decal: A Glimpse into History

This vinyl kiss-cut decal recreates the design of the 関東都督府典獄監吏及看守帽章, a hat badge worn by prison officers and jail guards under the Kwantung Government in Japan's historical presence in Manchuria. The design serves as a window into a specific period and location, carrying the weight of its historical context.

Visual Representation

The artwork likely features elements of official authority and military symbolism. The central focus is the kanji representing the Kwantung Government itself, or possibly the specific title of the officers ("prison officers and jail guards") or maybe both. This is the core identifier of the organization. Stylized, bold, and likely within a circular or shield-like frame. The inclusion of Japanese text provides context, which adds to the intrigue of the design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design clearly signals the wearer's role and association. The prominent use of the Kanji, would serve as a declaration of authority. The overall style would likely be professional and formal, reflecting the serious nature of the duties of the prison officers and jail guards.

This badge design speaks of order, governance, and the exercise of power in a specific historical context. Its symbolism serves as a potent reminder of the past.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
