(0 Reviews) | add rating

The look of this candle is aesthetic and decorative. The shape of the candle IKARI originated from the time in Japan when there was no electric light. The ancestors played with the shape to make the light of the candle brighter. In Takazawa it is called \"anchor shape\", top-heavy with a wide rim and a narrow base. The wax is purely vegetable obtained from the fruit of the HAZE tree (sumac).

A hand-woven wick made of washi paper, rush grass and silk fibers supports the high and bright flame. By using natural, vegetable waxes, Takazawa candles produce less soot when they go out and release fewer unpleasant odors. The Japanese attention to detail enchants from the quality of the product to the wonderful packaging.

"Japanese candle IKARI, 1 candle"

TAKAZAWA CANDLE manufactures traditional Japanese candles called \"WA-ROUSOKU\" which are made of natural waxes. They established their candle making business as early as 1892 in the city of Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.

Different types of waxes are used for the candles, which are obtained from vegetable raw materials: Fruits of the HAZE tree (sumac), rice bran, rapeseed flower oil and fruits of the Urushi tree. The natural energy stored in these plants is used when burning these candles, which makes them environmentally friendly. When extinguished, the candles release less soot and less unpleasant odor thanks to the natural vegetable waxes.

The flame of TAKAZAWA candles is larger and brighter. This is due to the structure of the traditional wick, which is thicker in diameter than its Western counterpart. The wick is made from a combination of WASHI paper, rush grass and silk fibers, which also come from nature.

Takazawa Candle

TAKAZAWA CANDLE produces traditional Japanese candles called "WA-ROUSOKU," made from natural waxes. They established their candle-making business in 1892 in the city of Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.

The candles are made using various types of wax derived from plant-based sources: fruits of the HAZE tree (sumac), rice bran, rapeseed flower oil, and fruits of the URUSHI tree. The natural energy stored in these plants is utilized when burning these candles, making them environmentally friendly. When extinguishing, the candles release less soot and emit less unpleasant odor due to the natural, plant-based waxes.

The flame of TAKAZAWA candles is larger and brighter. This is due to the structure of the traditional wick, which is thicker in diameter compared to its Western counterpart. The wick is made from a combination of WASHI paper, vetiver grass, and silk fibers, all of which are also sourced from nature.
