Shinobue Care

Humidify your room to keep your shinobue from cracking.

Even if you live in a humid climate, if your home has central air, which controls humidity, your shinobues are in danger. (Most Japanese houses do not have central air.)

Humidifying your room is a simple yet effective solution. I use this humidifier for my shinobue room, finding it easy to use with just one refill a day. 

 As an Amazon partner, I receive small commissions from Amazon at no additional cost to you. The money will help me continue providing valuable shinobue information to the world.

Measure the humidity of your room

I make sure the humidity of my shinobue is in the good range with this gauge.
