Unidentified artist - Flowering Plum and Bamboo - 17th century - Kiss-Cut Stickers Design

An anonymous seventeenth-century hand paints the rigid endurance of bamboo alongside the sudden, fragile burst of flowering plum blossoms.

Brushwork & Botanical Balance

Slender, segmented stalks of bamboo cut vertically across the composition, anchored by dark ink nodes and sparse, lance-shaped leaves. Interlocking with these sturdy greens, gnarled branches of plum spread in pale, branching curves, punctuated by dense clusters of open blossoms rendered in soft washes. The arrangement relies on the sharp contrast between the stiff, upright energy of the bamboo and the erratic, sculptural twist of the old plum tree against an unpainted expanse.

Tradition & The Two Friends

In classical East Asian iconography, plum and bamboo belong to the 'Three Friends of Winter'—motifs celebrated for surviving the harsh cold while other plants wither. The bamboo represents moral integrity, bending with the gale without snapping, while the early-blooming plum signifies resilience and renewal, pushing out delicate petals before the snow fully melts. This anonymous 17th-century leaf captures the traditional scholar-artist aesthetic, where natural subjects double as reflections of human character and steadfast resolve.

On the Kiss-Cut Stickers

This centuries-old ink study is precision-cut to the organic silhouette of its own branches and stalks, turning a traditional album leaf into a sharp, peelable accent ready for your laptop, journal, or smooth flat surface.

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.
