Utagawa Hiroshige - Sumidagawa, Mimeguri - 3rd month dragon year 1868 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A night riverside scene in deep teal and navy, with a full moon hanging over a flowering tree and three figures in kimono resting beneath its blossoms.

Visual Elements & Composition

The print is built in a tall vertical rectangle, with the deep teal blue of the water and night sky filling most of the frame. Pale turquoise and grey-green step the river into layers, while a cream moon provides the single bright point that draws the eye. An arched bridge crosses the lower field of the image, and a fan-shaped cartouche holds the inscription 東都三十六景, which identifies the piece as part of the Thirty-Six Views of the Eastern Capital series. The blossoming tree and the figures sit close together, so the composition reads as calm and balanced rather than crowded.

Meaning & Symbolism

Sumidagawa, Mimeguri refers to the Sumida River and the Mimeguri area on its banks, a landscape that was central to Edo-period culture and remains a landmark of Japanese cultural geography. The full moon, the blossoms and the figures under the tree express the seasonal appreciation of spring evenings that runs through ukiyo-e. Dated to the third month of the dragon year 1868, the print sits at the turn from the Edo to the Meiji era, when this style of printed landscape was carrying its traditions forward.

Where This Sticker Lives

Cut to the outline of the riverbank, the moon and the tree, this decal shows the whole scene as a single shape rather than a framed rectangle. It suits the smooth, flat surfaces it is made for: laptop lids, journal covers and window glass, where the moonlit blues can be seen against whatever sits behind them. For collectors of Hiroshige, it turns a favourite landscape into an object that travels with them.

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.
