A figure in green patterned robes, decorated with bamboo leaves, plays a long transverse flute, and a flowering plant rises from a tall yellow vase beside them. The composition is built on a tall vertical panel, with a circular family crest anchoring the upper field. Floral pattern carries the surface, so the eye moves between the robe's detail and the open cream ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSegawa Kikunojo III was one of the celebrated stage stars of the Edo period, and his portrait in a female role records how kabuki turned the performer into an image of refined femininity. Onnagata, the tradition of male actors playing women, sat at the centre of that theatre culture. The bamboo, flute and flowering vase belong to the stylised elegance that the Katsukawa school prized, where character and gesture matter more than realism. The print therefore holds celebrity, gender performance and the polished aesthetics of Japanese theatre in one image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCrafted to Its Own Outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut to the edge of the artwork, this sticker takes the shape of the composition itself, so the tall panel and the crest read as one object rather than a rectangle with a picture inside. It suits collectors of Edo-period prints and anyone who follows kabuki, and it places a piece of theatre history on a surface where it can be seen up close, turned over and looked at again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291851436250,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-2X2-235","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48291851469018,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-2X2-236","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291851501786,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-3X3-235","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48291851534554,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-3X3-236","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291851567322,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-4X4-235","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48291851600090,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-4X4-236","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291851632858,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-6X6-235","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48291851665626,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-6X6-236","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/katsukawa-shunj-the-third-segawa-kikunojo-as-a-woman-ca-1780-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-KTSSHN-2X2-236-alt-3.webp?v=1785726699","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/katsukawa-shunj-the-third-segawa-kikunojo-as-a-woman-ca-1780-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
