Her companion wears a black coat and white trousers and gestures mid-conversation. The image sits within a tall vertical panel, with a rectangular cartouche of Japanese kana columns beside them and a bookshelf of ledger boxes behind. The characters 英吉利 (Eirikisu, \"England\") are written in the text, naming the foreign figures in the Japanese language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe print belongs to a moment when Yokohama and other treaty ports brought Western residents into daily view for Japanese artists and audiences. Yoshiiku, a prolific ukiyo-e master, turned that encounter into a record of cultural exchange and social observation. The ledgers and written panel signal commerce and language, the clothing signals foreign fashion, and the gesturing man signals conversation. Together they document how the world was reaching Japanese print culture in 1861.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker follows the outline of its artwork, so the crinoline, the bonnet and the cartouche stand alone without a border around them. The design suits smooth flat surfaces such as laptops, journals and windows, and it works indoors as decor. Placed on a journal cover or a laptop lid, the print becomes a small, close-up piece of 1860s Japanese history that the viewer handles and studies up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289094041818,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-2X2-25","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48289094074586,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-2X2-26","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289094107354,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-3X3-25","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48289094140122,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-3X3-26","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289094172890,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-4X4-25","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48289094205658,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-4X4-26","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289094238426,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-6X6-25","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48289094271194,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-6X6-26","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/utagawa-yoshiiku-english-woman-with-black-man-11th-month-1861-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-TGWYSH-2X2-26-alt-3.webp?v=1785628445","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/utagawa-yoshiiku-english-woman-with-black-man-11th-month-1861-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
