Utagawa Hiroshige II - Dutch Ship at Anchor off the Coast of Tsushima - 3rd month, 1859 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A three-masted Dutch vessel rides at anchor off the coast of Tsushima in this 1859 ukiyo-e woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige II.

Visual Elements & Composition

The ship dominates a vertical panel. Its black hull and diagonal rigging lines cut hard against pale sky blue and sea teal, and a small boat sits near its side. Red touches draw the eye along the vessel: the stern gallery and the pennant flags. On the left, a pine clings to a coastal cliff, and breaking waves curl over ochre rocks at the base of the scene. A vertical title cartouche carries the characters 諸國名所百景 and 海岸, which place the print within its series and name the shore.

Meaning & Symbolism

The print records a moment of contact between foreign shipping and the Japanese coast during the late Edo period. Tsushima sat on the sea routes that carried Dutch traders and their vessels into Japanese waters, so the anchored ship stands for mid-nineteenth-century maritime exchange. Hiroshige II sets the Western hull against a native coastline of rock, pine and surf, and the balance between the two gives the work its theme of coastal geography and international relations.

Built to Follow the Outline of the Ship

Kiss-cut construction means this artwork is cut to its own outline, so the hull, rigging and pennants can be followed as the sticker's edge rather than framed by a rectangle. The backing stays intact, so the design peels cleanly from its page. It suits smooth, flat surfaces such as laptops, journals and windows, where the silhouette of a sailing ship reads clearly against the surface beneath it.

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.
