Using this Cardcaptor Sakura Sealing Staff is super easy. Just hold it firmly and give it a good shake. When you do, the sensor inside will detect the movement and start playing the show's music, including the OP. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the gold plating and pearl paint from fading. Avoid dropping it as it might damage the sensor. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. When shipping, it's free within the Continental USA, so sit back and wait for it to arrive at your doorstep!
