Japanese Sumac Wax Candles [14cm] - Set of 2

Handcrafted by Mr. Taro Omori, a sixth-generation candle maker in Uchiko, Ehime Prefecture, together with his son Ryotaro, these traditional Japanese warosoku are made with all-natural materials and a time-honoured method passed down since the Edo period. Each candle features a handmade wick of washi paper, reed pith, and silk, then carefully coated - layer by layer - with wax from the haze tree (a type of Japanese sumac). This slow, considered process gives the candles their distinctive taper and soft, tree-ring-like texture. Warosoku burn cleanly with little smoke or soot, and no artificial scent. Their tall, gentle, and steady flame adds a calm, beautiful presence, whether used with a home altar, during quiet moments, or simply as a soft light on your table. *Candle stand not included.
