Katsushika Hokusai - Poem by Minamoto no Muneyuki Ason, from the series One Hundred poems Explained by the - ca. 1835 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design is a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, made around 1835, that illustrates a poem by Minamoto no Muneyuki Ason as part of the series One Hundred Poems Explained.

Visual Elements & Composition

Snow covers nearly everything. Bare trees rise in vertical trunks, and their branches hold heavy white drifts against a slate-blue sky. Figures crouch in the cold, and a traveller in a hooded cloak leans on a staff. Diagonal bands of smoke-like flame rise from a bonfire where travellers warm themselves, giving the composition its sharpest movement. Charcoal anchors the darkest passages, while rose pink and teal appear in small accents. A rectangular cartouche carries the characters 百人一首, the title of the classical hundred-poem anthology the series draws from.

Meaning & Symbolism

The series pairs each classical Japanese poem with a scene that carries its feeling, and this print turns Muneyuki's verse into a winter image of shelter and endurance. The bonfire marks warmth found in harsh conditions, while the bare trees and crouching figures set the poem's cold, quiet atmosphere. Hokusai, the most celebrated ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, approached the series with a documented method of visual storytelling, so the image reads as a faithful record of mid-nineteenth-century Japanese aesthetics rather than a loose interpretation of the text.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own artwork, so the snow, smoke and cartouche stand alone as a single shape. Because the image is built from strong diagonals and a few dark masses, it holds its structure at the small size a sticker occupies. Set it on a laptop lid, a journal cover or a smooth window pane, where the print's stillness can be seen up close.

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.
