Utagawa Kunisada - Mitsuuji with Mountain Roses (Yamabuki), from the series “Six Jewel Faces” (Mu tama-gao) - mid- to late 1830s v1 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A figure in a blue patterned kimono turns a flowering branch toward the viewer, a quiet portrait drawn in the classic ukiyo-e manner of the Edo period.

Visual Elements & Composition

Royal blue governs the kimono, set against dusty violet, sage green, and cream. Vermilion red provides the sharpest accent. The figure sits inside an oval vignette, while round tie-dye-style medallions repeat across the field and give the print its rhythm. A rectangular label carries the characters 豊国画, the Toyokuni-ga inscription that marks the print as a work of this artist's studio. The flowering branch, with its plum-like blossoms, breaks the geometry of the medallions and leads the eye back to the figure.

Meaning & Symbolism

Kunisada, one of the most prolific woodblock designers of the nineteenth century, created the Six Jewel Faces (Mu tama-gao) series in the mid- to late 1830s. Its title points to the portrait tradition, where a face and its gesture carry the meaning of the print. The yamabuki, known in English as the mountain rose, is a flower of spring and of the Japanese garden, and here it is the thing being held and shown. The design joins character portraiture with close, naturalistic attention to plant form, two strands that defined Edo-period printmaking.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the oval vignette, the medallions, and the branch become the shape of the object itself. Nothing is left as background to frame the image. The design reads as a single cut-out figure in blue and vermilion, which suits a sticker that sits on a surface as an image in its own right. The branch carries the composition outward, and the cut lets it reach the edge of the sticker unbroken.

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.
