Ochre brown and cream form the ground, pale gold picks out the rosettes, and black defines their edges. The repetition is dense and even, so the eye moves across the whole field before it settles on any single bloom. The metallic-thread effect gives the gold passages a glint that shifts as the image is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kamo horse race was a ritual performed to pray for abundant harvests and national peace, and it held a central place in the religious life of the Heian and Edo periods. The chrysanthemum is the emblem most associated with the Japanese imperial house, so its repetition here ties the festival to courtly tradition. The work belongs to the Sumiyoshi school, a lineage that revived the Yamato-e tradition in the Edo period and documented classical festivals with careful observation. Hiromori's piece preserves that record of ceremony, equestrian skill, and the balance between human effort and divine favour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker is trimmed to its own outline, so the chrysanthemum grid becomes the sticker's silhouette rather than sitting inside a fixed rectangle. The pattern loses its frame and reads as a single cut shape, which suits a design built from repeating circles. Because the image is composed as a close, tightly worked surface, it rewards the close viewing a sticker invites, whether on a journal cover, a laptop lid, or a notebook page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48547941482714,"sku":"10258756796434384320","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48547941515482,"sku":"14560176182890937184","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48547941548250,"sku":"17608707961716805985","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48547941581018,"sku":"12034787296423553072","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48547941613786,"sku":"80652355440185669534","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48547941646554,"sku":"57466184627713290846","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48547941679322,"sku":"24956613593279468309","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48547941712090,"sku":"30662299900513902655","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/sumiyoshi-hiromori-horse-race-at-kamo-18th-century-v2-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-unknown-alt-3.webp?v=1788529384","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/sumiyoshi-hiromori-horse-race-at-kamo-18th-century-v2-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
