Objects are set side by side rather than stacked into depth, so each one reads clearly. A chrysanthemum-patterned fan with a bird on it sits among the festive items, while a dried lobster, pine sprigs and folded paper noshi share the frame. A checkered pattern runs through the textiles, and a rectangular calligraphic label carries the characters 進上 and the numerals 2195, giving the sheet its written accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach element belongs to the New Year observance. Pine signals longevity and endurance, the dried lobster and folded noshi are auspicious offerings, and red mizuhiki cords mark gifts and celebration. The label's 進上 is the formal phrase used when presenting something to a superior, which fits the surimono's role as a commissioned greeting. The chrysanthemum and bird on the fan add seasonal and courtly refinement. Together the objects record the domestic rituals of Edo-period Japan, made in the 18th or 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut to the Fan's Outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker is shaped to its own outline, so the fan, the label and the folded noshi keep their silhouettes on the sticker, much as they stand out on the original sheet. The design rewards close viewing: the cord tassels, checkered textiles and calligraphy hold attention at arm's length, making this a piece for laptops, journals and notebooks where a collector looks at it up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48294991069402,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-2X2-7","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48294991102170,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-2X2-8","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48294991134938,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-3X3-7","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48294991167706,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-3X3-8","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48294991200474,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-4X4-7","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48294991233242,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-4X4-8","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48294991266010,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-6X6-7","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48294991298778,"sku":"TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-6X6-8","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/hachifusa-shri-new-year-decoration-and-a-set-of-bed-clothing-18th19th-century-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-HCHSHR-2X2-8-alt-3.webp?v=1785817044","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/hachifusa-shri-new-year-decoration-and-a-set-of-bed-clothing-18th19th-century-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
