unknown - The Rebellions of the Hōgen and Heiji Eras - 17th century v18 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design takes a 17th-century Japanese folding screen painting of the Hōgen and Heiji rebellions and turns its scene of armed warriors into a single, cut-to-shape image.

Visual Elements & Composition

Gold dominates the surface, set against olive-green rolling hills and earth-brown ground. Dark maroon accents and a white horse with a red saddle cloth draw the eye across the scene. An armoured samurai raises a sword at the centre, while an attendant in a patterned robe holds the horse's reins beside him. An armoured warrior stands at the right edge, framing the action. A vertical name label runs down the composition, a formal detail that anchors the layout.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Hōgen (1156) and Heiji (1160) rebellions were struggles among the imperial court and rival samurai clans, chiefly the Minamoto and Taira families. They marked the shift of political and military power from the aristocracy to the samurai class, and the warrior codes that followed shaped Japan for centuries. The painted screens of the Edo period celebrated these foundational legends, so the armoured figures here stand for the warrior order that the conflicts established.

Designed for the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker follows its own outline, so the armoured figures, the horse and the hills can be read as one shape rather than a framed picture. Gold leaf and the dense ornament of the original screen translate well to a compact image that rewards a closer look. Collectors who know the Heian-to-Kamakura turning point will recognise the scene at once.

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.
