Takazawa Candle Tohaku Candle

Takazawa candles are crafted from natural plant-based waxes like sumac and rice bran rather than petroleum-based paraffin. This results in a cleaner, more stable burn that produces significantly less soot and smoke.

Each candle in the set provides approximately 80 minutes of burn time. Their unique construction, featuring a dried reed wick wrapped in washi paper, allows for a tall, steady flame.

Yes, the subtle color variations are a natural characteristic of the plant-based waxes used in the traditional crafting process. Each candle is handmade, meaning no two pieces are exactly identical.

These are traditional Japanese taper candles with a diameter of 1.8cm. They are designed to fit standard taper holders, but you should ensure your holder can accommodate the 0.71-inch base diameter for a secure fit.

While no candle is entirely smokeless, these are designed to produce minimal soot and smoke compared to conventional candles. The combination of natural wax and the specialized reed-and-washi wick ensures a cleaner combustion process.
