A seated monk in mustard-yellow robes sits inside the hut, the strongest colour in the print. Below him, a bald man in teal green sweeps with a broom, a woman carries a child across a wooden footbridge, and a small figure bends near the water. Slate grey, pale blue and cream paper hold the rest of the image together. A cartouche title block carries the Japanese text 百人一首 (Hyakunin Isshu) and 喜撰法師 (Kisen Hōshi), which name the poet and the anthology he belongs to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seated figure is Kisen Hōshi, one of the Hundred Poets. His famous poem plays on the word tatsumi, meaning southeast, which is also the name of this district. He claims that his hut lies in the southeast of the capital, yet people call his world a mountain of sorrow, the Uji mountains. The print turns that wordplay into an image of withdrawal from the world while remaining inside it. Kuniyoshi made it at the height of the ukiyo-e tradition, so the work captures Edo-period architecture, poetry and the refined printmaking of the mid-nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to the Outline of the Image\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker follows its own outline, so the hut, the figures and the title block can stand on their own when the surrounding paper is removed. The vertical panel of the print translates naturally to a single cut shape, and the cartouche reads as a clean edge to the composition. Placed on a notebook, laptop or window, the cut line becomes part of the frame and keeps the print's quiet, layered scene intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289191067866,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-2X2-323","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48289191100634,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-2X2-324","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289191133402,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-3X3-323","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48289191166170,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-3X3-324","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289191198938,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-4X4-323","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48289191231706,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-4X4-324","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289191264474,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-6X6-323","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48289191297242,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-6X6-324","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/utagawa-kuniyoshi-the-poets-cabin-in-tatsumi-1845-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-TGWKNY-2X2-324-alt-3.webp?v=1785631795","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/utagawa-kuniyoshi-the-poets-cabin-in-tatsumi-1845-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
