Katsushika Hokusai - Album of Sketches by Katsushika Hokusai and His Disciples - 19th century v85 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This sticker takes a single leaf from a nineteenth-century studio album, a reclining bearded man in a green patterned robe set against a circular white disc, drawn in colour ink and brush.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sage green dominates the figure's robe, balanced by cream and charcoal in the black cap and the large white sack beside him. A terracotta pot holding a leafy plant anchors the lower corner, and the white disc behind the figure frames him like a moon. The rectangular panel gives the scene a ledger-like structure, so the image reads as a study rather than a finished painting. The brushwork is loose and economical, with the figure built from confident, quick strokes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The album gathers sketches made by Katsushika Hokusai and the artists trained in his school during the late Edo period. Its pages were instructional and archival, documenting figures, natural forms and everyday scenes so that the master's observational methods could pass to his pupils. Hokusai shaped the development of ukiyo-e, and this collection shows how his techniques were codified and shared across a generation of Japanese artists. Each study is a record of the lineage that kept that style alive.

Made for the Flat Surfaces You Live With

Because the design is cut to its own outline, the figure, disc and plant can stand alone on a laptop lid, a journal cover or a window, with no background to frame them. Its small scale suits objects you handle and look at up close, and the sketch's compact composition fits a sticker's edge exactly. For collectors of Japanese art, it turns an everyday surface into a fragment of a working studio.

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.
