This product is a Unique Japan exclusive that has been proudly featured in a number of magazines worldwide.

When a person born in the Year of the Boar has a goal, he or she forges ahead at full throttle. Simply trying is not enough; nothing short of success is acceptable. Simultaneously, Boar people are extremely courteous and are known for their great honesty. They shy away from confrontation, yet harbor strong convictions and will defend them vigorously when warranted. It is often said that a Boar friend is a friend for life, and Boar people choose their friends carefully and frugally. They care deeply for their friends and loved ones. Their vast knowledge and tenacious curiosity makes them interesting people to be around. They are most compatible with Rabbit and Sheep people.
