The skirt carries a floral vine pattern in blue, and the boy beside her wears a grey-blue coat and brown hat. Cream, cherry pink, and night blue fill the background, and a vertical title cartouche runs down the side, carrying the characters ふらんす, \"Furansu,\" the Japanese name for France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUtagawa Hiroshige II made this print in 1860, working in the traditions of Japanese ukiyo-e, and it turns a Western family into a subject for that art form. The scene centres on domestic life and motherhood: a mother, her child, and the household dog moving through a shared moment. The cherry blossoms, a national emblem of Japan, set the scene in spring, and the parasol and hooped skirt mark the fashions of the period. The print records how Japanese printmakers saw foreign visitors and residents in the 1860s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker follows its own outline, so the parasol's arch, the sweep of the skirt, and the dog's silhouette can stand alone on a surface, with nothing around them but the surface itself. Each figure reads as a separate shape, which suits a composition built from clear, bold contours. It is a small object, meant to be placed close to the eye, where the blossoms, the vine pattern, and the cartouche text can be read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48289628979418,"sku":"26140301212722835119","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289629012186,"sku":"67289833007640829633","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48289629044954,"sku":"30955588899006988268","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289629077722,"sku":"26845723284978423572","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48289629110490,"sku":"24112759532355038948","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289629143258,"sku":"73724594142048151878","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48289629176026,"sku":"28963286252794726928","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289629208794,"sku":"36384658254268333028","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/utagawa-hiroshige-ii-french-woman-her-child-and-pet-dog-10th-month-1860-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-30955588899006988268-alt-3.webp?v=1785643366","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/utagawa-hiroshige-ii-french-woman-her-child-and-pet-dog-10th-month-1860-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
