unknown - The Rebellions of the Hōgen and Heiji Eras - 17th century v138 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This six-panel Edo period folding screen unrolls a dense battlefield of running warriors, archers and river crossings, recording the Hōgen and Heiji Rebellions of the mid-12th century.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition reads as a horizontal scroll panel, with action moving across the full width of the picture plane. Gold leaf catches the light behind the figures and sets the scene apart from the ground, while dark green, muted brown, pale grey and rust red build the landscape and the armour. Running warriors in combat dominate the foreground, and a figure with a bundled sack on its back moves among them. An archer or spearman with a bow stands out in the sequence, and a small boat sits at the river's edge, anchoring the narrative to water.

Meaning & Symbolism

The screen depicts the struggle between the Taira and Minamoto clans for control of the imperial court. These conflicts mark the point where court aristocrats gave way to the samurai class, and the violence of the rebellions ended the power of the civilian nobility and opened the era of military governance under the bakufu system. The painting turns chronicled war into a visual epic, with loyalty, betrayal and the cycle of power running through each episode. Its 17th-century making reflects the Edo period's taste for historical sagas and warrior legends, which decorated the residences of the elite.

Made for the Collector's Surface

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own artwork, so the warriors, the bow and the boat keep their silhouettes once they leave the page. The design's narrative rewards close looking, and a sticker places it at arm's length, where each figure can be read one at a time. Fans of Japanese history and screen painting can carry this sequence of battle onto a laptop, a journal or a notebook cover.

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.
