Each hand-painted Japanese taper candle is unique, with delicate variations in its floral and botanical decoration. Individually painted in Akita, Japan, the motifs bring seasonal colour and a touch of nature into your home.

Made with natural wax and cherry bark, these candles combine distinctive texture with soft candlelight. Each offers approximately 50 minutes of burn time, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for a quiet evening or a shared moment.

Their decorative design harmonises with Japanese candle holders and natural interiors, bringing the care of artisan craftsmanship to everyday life.
