Fragrant Maneki Neko - Cypress Hiba

• Handcrafted unglazed maneki-neko from historic Seto, combining traditional good-luck symbolism with contemporary interior design.
• Doubles as a natural diffuser: Aomori hiba cypress oil releases a gentle, calming woody scent into your space.
• Right paw raised to invite wealth and good fortune
• Left paw raised to welcome guests and prosperous connections
• Comes as a complete set with ceramic cat, 10ml fragrance oil, and Aomori hiba cypress base, making it an ideal gift-ready item.

Designed to diffuse the natural scent of Aomori hiba cypress, it works as both a lucky charm and a refined fragrance object that brings a calm, woody aroma into your space. 

How it works: Add a few drops of the fragrance liquid onto the maneki-neko and the unglazed surface absorbs the oil, slowly releasing a refreshing cypress scent. 

Note: The area where the liquid is applied may gently change to an off‑white tone over time, adding a natural, lived-in character. 

The Aomori hiba fragrance oil spreads a gentle, natural woody scent; when the aroma softens, simply add another drop onto the cat or the cypress base. Due to its viscous nature, it may cause slippery surfaces or stains, so avoid using it directly on fabrics or delicate surfaces. 

Ingredients: Hiba oil 

Types :

• Right-paw maneki (invites money and improves financial luck) : 9 × 12 × 7 cm. 
  
• Left-paw maneki-neko (invites visitors and brings prosperity in business) : 7.5 × 16.5 × 9 cm 
• Fragrance liquid (10ml) 

The cypress base is cut from thin slices of Aomori hiba logs, each piece showing its natural grain and organic outline for a warm, understated presence. To preserve the natural fragrance of the wood, the surface is left uncoated, which makes it more prone to stains and slight cracking. 

Notes: Because it is natural wood, small cracks and a gentle yellowish discoloration over time may occur. If left in the same place for a long period, it may cause faint staining on the underlying surface. 

Precautions: 
Not for drinking; avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
Keep away from children, pets, open flames, high temperatures, and direct sunlight. Natural ingredients may discolour over time, and light staining may remain where the liquid is applied, without affecting quality.
If the included 10ml runs out, you can replenish it with the same 30ml fragrance liquid from the series.
