Handmade Japanese candles from 100% natural sumac wax. The candle wicks are hollow inside and made of washi paper, rush stalks and silk fibres. A piece of washi paper is first rolled up, wrapped with rush straws and held together with silk fibres. These candles burn beautifully with a bigger and brighter flame than traditional paraffin candles. Because only natural ingredients are used, they produce less soot and release fewer unpleasant odours.

If a burnt wick gets long, it can be removed with tweezers or a Candle Snuffer to prevent the candle from burning down too quickly.

Daiyo, with its hundred-year history, uses 100% local and natural plant wax, carefully handcrafted by artisans. By using a sustainable resource, the Japanese candles for home use do not produce smoke nor does the melted wax flow out of the candle. The candles are also virtually odourless. Eco-friendliness is the greatest feature of the Japanese candles by Daiyo.

This candle set comes in a beautiful gift box. The burning time is approx. 30 minutes each.
