Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.
How long does delivery take?
These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.
- United States: 12 to 15 business days
- Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany: 9 to 12 business days
- Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland: 10 to 13 business days

Actual delivery can be affected by customs clearance, seasonal congestion, or carrier delays in the destination country, all of which are outside our control.
Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
It was smaller than I expected, but that might actually be a good thing when using it with blush. You can apply a thin layer of highly pigmented blush.
I often have trouble applying too much blush, so I came across this brush after reading reviews that suggested using a brush with coarse or loose teeth would be a good idea. Perhaps because of the thin handle, I don't have to use much pressure, which is a good thing, and I can apply it very thinly and softly. I think it's a little pricey, but it gives a delicate finish, so I'm glad I decided to buy it.
When I bought it, it wasn't available in any stores, so I pre-ordered it. It holds powder well. It's very light. It's a little small, so I use it to dust off powder and apply blush. The only drawback is the high price.

I bought this after seeing Ginyo-chan. I wanted a thin, flat brush, so I'm happy with it for now, but as others have said, I'm worried that the tangled strands will come off. I wonder why they designed it like this... Did the brush designer think this would represent Japaneseness...? (That's weird.) I wonder if this is the image of Japan that people overseas have.
