JDM Wakaba – The Original JDM Symbol Air Freshener That Started It All

Before the anime drops, before the pandas, before the flags—there was JDM Wakaba. These were the first two designs in our Young Leaf series, and they still hold their spot as classics. Featuring the iconic Shoshinsha symbol—a staple in Japanese car culture—these air fresheners are pure JDM, from scent to shape.

The Shoshinsha mark (also called the Wakaba mark) is a green-and-yellow symbol placed on cars driven by new drivers in Japan. Over time, it's come to represent more than that—it’s now a universal symbol of JDM culture. Car fans around the world use it as a badge of identity, humility, and a passion for the scene.

Printed on the JDM leaf silhouette, this design is the culture. It’s not flashy. It’s not trying to be trendy. It’s just real.
