Winter Japanese Candle Set

These iro rosuku (coloured Japanese candles) have been made for us by hand in the Daiyo atelier in Shiga, Japan, using traditional methods dating back to 1914. The wick, made by wrapping a dried reed around a washi paper cylinder, gives the candle a tall intense flame and generates minimal soot and smoke.

They’re made of natural rice bran wax, extracted from rice husks, which naturally lasts longer and burns steadily.

The beautiful gift box depicts Winter in Shiga and the candle colours reflect the season.
