Kano Shōei - Pheasants among Trees- Flowers of the Four Seasons - probably 1560s v11 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design takes Kano Shōei's pheasants among trees and the flowers of the four seasons, a painting from the Muromachi period attributed to the 1560s, and carries it into a cut-to-shape sticker.

Visual Elements & Composition

Pheasants move between majestic trees, with blossoms of the four seasons spread through the scene. Bold brushwork defines the birds and branches, while fine, meticulous detail fills the flowers and plumage. The ink and colour on paper are arranged so that the trees anchor the composition and the birds read as the focal points within it. The composition feels open and balanced, with no single element crowding another.

Meaning & Symbolism

In classical East Asian iconography, pheasants paired with seasonal blossoms stand for longevity, prosperity, and the harmony of the natural world. The flowers of the four seasons mark the passage of time and the cycle of the year, a theme drawn from classical poetry and philosophy. Paintings like this were made to bring auspicious blessings into a room. Kano Shōei worked within the Kano school, the lineage of master painters who served the cultural and political elite and shaped Japanese painting for centuries.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the pheasants, branches, and blossoms become the shape of the object itself rather than sitting inside a rectangle. The artwork's rhythm of birds, trees, and seasonal flowers suits a shape that follows the image closely. Where a hanging scroll is seen at a distance, this sticker is meant to be picked up, turned, and placed where it can be looked at closely, reflecting how the Kano school's details reward a close look.

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.
