FAQ

Questions

When can I get one?

The first print run is in November. Join the waiting list and we’ll email you the moment ordering opens — no payment, no obligation.

Does it need power or an app?

No. The wave is pure optics, and the NFC chip is powered by the phone that taps it.

Which phones read the chip?

iPhone XS and newer, and practically every Android phone with NFC switched on.

How does the gift message work?

We’re building a small account area where you record a video or write a note. Whoever you give the poster to sees it the moment they tap the cat. Every buyer gets an email when it’s live.

Does it come framed?

No — it ships unframed and rolled, and fits any standard A2 frame.

Where do you ship?

Across Europe, for free, delivered within 7 days of your order. Outside the EU (e.g. Switzerland, UK, Norway) customs fees may apply.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 14 days of delivery, no reason needed.

Why the left paw?

Legend says the left paw invites customers, the right one money. The koban it holds is stamped 千貫 — a thousand pieces of sushi.
