Handcrafted in Akita, Japan, this set of 12 Japanese candles brings the warmth of traditional candlelight into your home. Each candle reflects the care and skill of artisans working with techniques passed down through generations.

Made from 100% pure sumac wax, these fragrance-free candles offer a plant-based composition and a soft, warm glow. Their light creates a welcoming atmosphere for quiet evenings, shared meals or moments of reflection.

Their simple shape harmonises with Japanese candle holders and natural interiors, bringing traditional craftsmanship to everyday life.

Japanese candles traditionally have a thicker wick, which may produce a larger flame. Use a suitable candle holder and never leave a burning candle unattended.
