Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章 - The Actor Bando Mitsugoro as a Man in Sumptuous Raiment, Standing in a Field, Mount Fuji - ca. 1778 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This is a Katsukawa Shunshō ukiyo-e woodblock print from around 1778, showing the kabuki actor Bandō Mitsugorō I standing in a field before Mount Fuji.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built as a diptych of two vertical panels. The standing man, with his topknot and patterned robe, fills the foreground. His garment is striped and set with circular roundels, rendered in pale grey, olive green, cream and salmon pink. Beside him, a woman in a wide sedge hat holds a sleeve to her face and carries a lacquered box. Mount Fuji rises in the background as a conical silhouette, its peak picked out in golden yellow, with clouds drifting over the hills below. The artist's signature, 春章 and 画, appears in the print.

Meaning & Symbolism

The print pairs theatrical character study with classical landscape. The actor's dramatic stance and lavish costume belong to the Kabuki stage, where performers were celebrated through portraits like this one. Mount Fuji, the most recognisable natural landmark in Japan, anchors the scene with a sense of scale and calm, so the drama of the performer and the stillness of the mountain sit side by side. The work comes from the Katsukawa School of the Edo period and captures the visual culture of late eighteenth-century Edo.

Made for the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its artwork, so the silhouette of the robed figure and the peak of Fuji define the shape you hold. Because the image is a tall, layered composition, it suits smooth, flat surfaces such as laptops and journals, where the figure can be seen up close and the mountain reads clearly against the surface beneath it.

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.
