Cream grounds carry the scene, with vermilion red, sage green, charcoal and pale yellow picking out the robes, branches and lacquerwork. A woman in layered court robes stands beneath a flowering plum branch, a songbird perches among the blossoms, and two decorated lanterns or drums sit nearby. Two characters, 梅 (ume, plum) and 高根雪風, appear within the image and anchor the reading of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plum blossom is among the first flowers of spring, and in East Asian art it signals renewal and quiet resilience. Its pairing with the court lady sets nature beside refined leisure. The shell-matching game was a courtly pastime of the Edo period, played by matching painted halves of clam shells, and the lacquer cabinets that hold the shells mark it as a pursuit of taste and craft. Shunman, a master of the Edo-era print, rendered these customs of eighteenth-century Japan with a calm, dignified stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut to Its Own Outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker follows the contour its designer chooses, so this panel can be cut around the courtly figure, the plum branch and the cabinets rather than sitting inside a fixed border. The composition's layered robes and sweeping branches read as a single silhouette, letting the edge of the sticker become part of the artwork. Once placed, the cut shape carries the same quiet elegance as the original print.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48290586427610,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-2X2-59","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48290586460378,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-2X2-60","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48290586493146,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-3X3-59","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48290586525914,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-3X3-60","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48290586558682,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-4X4-59","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48290586591450,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-4X4-60","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48290586624218,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-6X6-59","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48290586656986,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KBSHN-6X6-60","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/kubo-shunman-court-lady-beneath-an-old-plum-tree-two-lacquer-cabinets-for-the-shell-matching-game-1793-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-KBSHN-2X2-60-alt-3.webp?v=1785682059","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/kubo-shunman-court-lady-beneath-an-old-plum-tree-two-lacquer-cabinets-for-the-shell-matching-game-1793-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
