Nanao Japanese Candle Set

Excellent set of five sculptural candles, inspired by the plant life of the Noto peninsula, where Takazawa is based and made from sumac wax, with a wick of dried reed wrapped around washi paper. Sumac wax is a plant-based, gentle option for the environment, creating a bright, tall flame with less smoke and soot than other waxes. Candle stand sold separately—pairs well with the Medium Koma Candle Stand. DETAILS: Box of five, 4 in candles, 110 min burn time | Sumac wax, dried reed, and washi paper | Made in Iwate, Japan MORE: Takazawa was established in 1892 and is one of the oldest candle makers in Japan. The candles produced by Takazawa use techniques and materials that have not changed since the 16th century.
