A Note From the Founder
“Shibui Rituals was created for the quiet scent changes people rarely talk about. The ones you notice on a collar, a pillowcase, or in a warm room, after the shower, not before it.”
04Questions
Before you reserve.
What is the Founding Batch?
The Founding Batch is the first numbered production run of the KAKI Ritual Starter Kit. Founding Batch kits are reserved below the planned retail price. The exact founding price is shown on every product page and at checkout, and each kit is batch- and lot-marked. Reserving a kit holds your place in the first run.
When will my preorder ship?
The current estimated ship window is shown on every product page and at checkout. It is an estimate, not a guarantee. Small-batch manufacturing is deliberate by design. You will receive batch updates by email as your kit moves toward shipping.
Can I cancel before shipment?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. Preorders are fully refundable before shipment. Write to support and we will take care of it. No forms, no friction.
What if the ship date changes?
We will tell you promptly and plainly. If the estimated window moves, you will be notified by email and may cancel for a full refund. Before anything ships, you are never locked in.
