Utagawa Hiroshige II 二代目歌川広重 - Chōmeiji Temple (Chōmeiji), from the series Miracles of Kannon - 1859 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This 1859 ukiyo-e woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige II shows Chōmeiji Temple on the shore of Lake Biwa, drawn as a quiet landscape of water, pine and temple roofs.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built as a vertical panel, with a framed landscape vignette set inside it. Deep blue water and cream sky give the scene its calm, and straw yellow and dark brown fill the foreground. Two fishermen cast a net from a boat, a third figure in a blue patterned jacket and straw skirt stands at the water's edge, and a rower in a red coat works a paddle nearby. The temple hall with its red pagoda sits in the vignette, framed by pine trees. Vertical columns of Japanese text run down the margins, with the title and series inscriptions set in the same restrained hand as the image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The series title, 観音霊験記 (Miracles of Kannon), places the print within a body of works that record the miraculous efficacy of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. The inscription 西國順礼三拾番 refers to the Saigoku pilgrimage of thirty sacred temples, and 近江長命寺 names this site in Ōmi Province. Hiroshige II's composition follows the Edo period's habit of tying sacred places to the ordinary life of their surroundings, so fishermen and boatmen appear alongside the temple. The result reads as reverence expressed through daily landscape, the mood of the mid-nineteenth century woodblock tradition.

Where This Print Meets the Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the vertical panel and the vignette can be followed as drawn, with the temple and boat as the focal point rather than a rectangle around them. Ukiyo-e was made to be held and looked into closely, and the sticker keeps that intimacy, carrying a sacred Edo landscape onto a surface you pass every day.

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.
