unknown - The Rebellions of the Hōgen and Heiji Eras - 17th century v64 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This Japanese painting on gold leaf follows the violent Hōgen and Heiji rebellions, the mid-12th-century clashes that brought the samurai class to the centre of national power.

Visual Elements & Composition

Gold dominates the design, forming a curved ground that frames a rectangular panel of densely worked scenes. Swordsmen fight along a path, and fallen figures lie across the ground as evidence of the fighting. A wooden lattice building sits within the action, while green pine trees and a rocky outcrop anchor the edges. Olive green, tan, crimson and grey brown carry the figures and landscape against the gold, and the crowded arrangement keeps the eye moving from one clash to the next.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Hōgen and Heiji rebellions ended the imperial court's direct governance and marked the rise of the samurai as the dominant force in Japanese society. The screen records that shift, showing military authority pushing aside civil aristocracy at the close of the Heian period. Attributed to the 17th century and created during the height of the Edo period, the folding screen belongs to a tradition of narrative painting that preserved the memory of medieval conflicts and the origins of the warrior class, which the shogunate later inherited.

Cut to Its Own Outline

A kiss-cut sticker takes the shape of its artwork, so the gold ground and the swordsmen's path become the sticker's edge. Placed on a laptop, journal or window, the piece reads as a fragment of the screen, a small record of a turning point in Japanese history for anyone who collects historical design.

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.
