Parchment beige and pale grey paper form the ground, while black ink and sepia brown give the printed lines their depth. The woodblock-printed text is the dominant element, and a brush-written mark, 岩部, sits on the page as a handwritten inscription against the printed characters. The layout is direct and uncluttered, so the page itself carries the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAki no yo no nagamonogatari\u003c\/em\u003e is a traditional Japanese tale told to hold a listener through long seasonal nights. Its narrative belongs to a body of storytelling that often turns on romance, fate and the supernatural, reflecting the tastes of the period in which it circulated. This 1642 printing dates to the Edo period, when commercial publishing and woodblock printing expanded rapidly in Japan. The book stands as evidence of how popular narratives reached a wider reading public across the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut to the Outline of the Page\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKiss-cut construction lets this artwork follow the outline of the open book spread, so the sticker takes the shape of the printed page rather than a rectangle. It suits smooth, flat surfaces such as journals and laptops, where the cut edge reads as part of the page. For collectors of Edo-period print culture, the sticker carries a piece of the book's own form onto everyday objects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529500471514,"sku":"18429029135629526518","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529500504282,"sku":"17284363010919917117","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529500537050,"sku":"33165242343489590460","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529500569818,"sku":"14655507746011495852","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529500602586,"sku":"26466696953608374509","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529500635354,"sku":"25591763197020267864","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529500668122,"sku":"23810474576479284211","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529500700890,"sku":"28732429372976045656","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/unknown-printed-book-of-the-text-for-a-long-tale-for-an-autumn-night-aki-no-yo-no-nagamonogatari-dated-1642-v4-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-unknown-alt-3.webp?v=1788121841","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/unknown-printed-book-of-the-text-for-a-long-tale-for-an-autumn-night-aki-no-yo-no-nagamonogatari-dated-1642-v4-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
