Sailing ships with white sails and crimson hulls crowd the water, and their repeated forms set a steady rhythm across the sheet. Sky blue and indigo carry the sea, while salmon pink, cream and pine green mark the clouds, the headland and the light. Rays of sunlight break over the clouds, and cranes cross the upper air. The inscriptions read 天保山 (Tempozan), 万船 (man-sen, ten thousand ships), 入津 (nyūshin, arrival at port) and 圖 (zu, picture), naming the place and the scene in the artist's own hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempozan was a hill on the Osaka waterfront, and the title's phrase \"ten thousand ships\" points to the busy trade that crossed its harbour in the Edo period. The ships arriving in port stand for commerce and the wider world reaching the shore, while the pine headland and the cranes speak to stillness and longevity. Calm sky and churning water sit side by side, the balance of tranquility and force that defines the mood of the work. Gakutei, a student of Hokusai, produced this print in 1838, during the flowering of ukiyo-e landscape prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the seascape keeps its ships, cranes and headland as the edge of the object itself. The design suits smooth flat surfaces such as laptops, journals and windows, where the cutline reads as part of the artwork. Each sticker carries one slice of the harbour, a small window onto Edo-period Osaka.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48288980533466,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-2X2-113","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48288980566234,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-2X2-114","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48288980599002,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-3X3-113","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48288980631770,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-3X3-114","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48288980664538,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-4X4-113","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48288980697306,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-4X4-114","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48288980730074,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-6X6-113","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48288980762842,"sku":"TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-6X6-114","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/yashima-gakutei-tempozan-man-sen-nu-shin-no-zu-1838-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-YSHGKT-2X2-114-alt-3.webp?v=1785624024","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/yashima-gakutei-tempozan-man-sen-nu-shin-no-zu-1838-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
