Utagawa Toyokuni I - Two Young Women Playing a Game of Sugoroku - unknown - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This ukiyo-e woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I shows two young women absorbed in a game of sugoroku, a traditional Japanese board game, on a low table.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built as a diptych of two vertical panels, and the eye moves between them as the figures lean over the board. Ochre yellow and pale cream fill the largest areas, with coral red accents in the kimono and near-black linework defining the figures and furnishings. Pale sage adds a quiet note to the background. Mount Fuji appears in the distance, and a woman serving a drink from a cup sits within the same scene. The characters 豊國画 appear in the print, identifying its Utagawa school origin.

Meaning & Symbolism

Sugoroku was a popular pastime in the Edo period, and the scene records it as a shared social act rather than a solitary one. The quiet closeness between the two women carries the theme of companionship, while the veranda setting and the women in kimono give an authentic view of domestic leisure in that era. The refined lines and storytelling typical of Toyokuni's workshop make the print a document of everyday life as much as an image of a game.

Reading the Sticker as a Cut Image

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the figures, table and framing of this composition become a single shape rather than a rectangle with a picture inside it. It suits smooth flat surfaces such as laptops and journals, where the cut edge lets the scene sit directly on the object. Each piece carries the stillness of the original print into a small, handled object that can be placed close to the eye.

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.
