Takazawa Candles has been making traditional Japanese candles since 1892! Using techniques that haven't changed since the 16th century, all of their candles exude such a simple beauty! And, the wax is made from plant-based raw materials, which means they let off less soot and smoke than paraffin candles. The wick is made from dried reed wrapped around a washi paper cylinder, both derived from nature as well, making them eco-friendly. They also burn brighter since their wicks are thicker in diameter than typical candles.
The shape of the "Tohaku" series of candles is inspired by the pine trees around Nanao, Japan where Takazawa Candles is based. They are made from 100% natural sumac wax.
Small candles come in a set of 6 and have a burn time of 80 minutes. Each small candle is approx. 2 3/4" high (3 1/4" to top of wick) and has a 3/8" base. Small candles pair perfectly with the small Koma candle stand, sold separately. Or, with any spike candle base.
