Shitao (Zhu Ruoji) - The Sixteen Luohans - dated 1667 v11 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This is a handscroll painting of the Sixteen Luohans by Shitao, the Qing dynasty master who signed his work as Zhu Ruoji, rendered in expressive brush calligraphy that carries the figures across the paper.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition unfolds horizontally, the way a handscroll is meant to be read, with a long rectangular block of text and image running in sequence. Cream paper forms the ground, and the dominant colour is ink black, with seal red marking the artist's presence. The brushwork is loose and deliberate, so each robed figure reads through gesture and line rather than fine detail, and the restraint of the palette keeps the eye on the rhythm of the strokes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Luohans, or arhats, are the enlightened disciples of the historical Buddha, revered across East Asian Buddhism as guardians and protectors of the faith. They stand for steadfast spiritual endurance, ascetic devotion, and the attainment of nirvana through disciplined practice. Painted in the early Qing, the scroll shows Shitao engaging traditional Buddhist subject matter in his own individualistic manner, and its place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection keeps that legacy in public view.

Tracing the Scroll onto Your Surface

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the brush-drawn figures and the fall of the scroll's ink become the shape itself rather than a rectangle around them. Each piece carries the calligraphic silhouette directly onto the surface it is placed on, which suits collectors who want a historic handscroll image to live where they look every day.

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.
