Unidentified artist - Gathering of government officials - calligraphy dated 1565 v1 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A mid-sixteenth-century Joseon scroll records a commemorative gathering of scholar-officials, with misty mountains, pine-clad rocks and small boats set above a block of calligraphy.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is built as a horizontal panel inside a framed scroll format. Ink in dark grey carries the landscape: a misty mountain range fills the upper field, pine trees cling to a rocky outcrop, and small boats drift across a lake. Along the shore, tiny distant figures are barely more than marks, so the eye reads the scene as quiet and expansive. The brown silk ground, pale brocade border and black surround frame the ink, and a vermilion seal red adds the single warm accent.

Meaning & Symbolism

The work commemorates a gyehoe, a formal gathering of Korean government officials in the mid-sixteenth century, usually arranged by colleagues who passed the civil service examination in the same year or held equivalent rank. The calligraphy records the names and titles of those present, making the scroll a lasting social record of status and attendance. Such gatherings expressed Confucian ideals of social harmony, scholarly brotherhood and service to the state, and they helped sustain political networks within the Joseon court. Dated 1565, the piece belongs to a tradition of commemorative documentary painting that combined technical skill with intellectual rigour.

On the Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own design, so the artwork stands on its own without a surrounding frame. The scroll's pine, mountain and boat forms translate cleanly into a single cut shape, and the vermilion seal becomes a small point of colour against the ink. Its contents are a record of people gathered in shared company, a theme that suits a sticker meant to be placed and noticed 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.
