Katsushika Hokusai - Album of Sketches by Katsushika Hokusai and His Disciples - 19th century v26 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design takes a single leaf from a studio album of ink sketches, where two muscular wrestlers lock in a grapple beside a sumo-style wrestler seen from behind.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is drawn in black ink on parchment, with a grey edge framing the page. Its ink line reads as woodblock-style, with economical contours that describe bodies through weight and tension rather than shading. A tall vertical panel and a horizontal fold crease divide the page, and the wrestlers' interlocked forms sit at its centre, so the eye moves from the grapple to the rear view of the wrestler at the edge.

Meaning & Symbolism

Sumo and wrestling were recurring subjects of Edo-period artists, valued for the strength and balance of the human body in motion. This is a leaf from an album attributed to Katsushika Hokusai and his disciples, a 19th-century collection of studies and preparatory drawings. Such albums served as instructional manuals inside the studio, transmitting observational habits and stylistic conventions from master to student, and they also held material that could be adapted for finished prints and paintings. Hokusai remains one of the most celebrated figures in Japanese art, and this page shows his workshop method of capturing the human world in quick, deliberate lines.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the wrestlers' silhouette becomes the object's shape rather than sitting inside a rectangle. Each sticker carries the sketch as a standalone drawing, the way a single leaf was lifted from its album. Because the design depends on its contours, the cut follows the figures closely, keeping the grapple intact at every edge.

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.
