Daiyo Ivory Rice Wax Candle Gift Set (20 & White Ceramic Stand)

Handcrafted in Japan using naturally derived plant wax, the Daiyo Ivory Rice Wax Candle Gift Set embodies the quiet beauty and refined simplicity of traditional Japanese candle-making, Warousoku. Produced by Daiyo, a historic candle maker from Shiga Prefecture, these elegant candles flow seamlessly into everyday living, bringing warmth, calm, and understated atmosphere. Paired with the refined white RIPPOH ceramic stand and presented in beautiful gift packaging, they create a thoughtful present for yourself or someone cherished.

Combining traditional craftsmanship with environmentally conscious materials, the Daiyo Ivory Rice Wax Candles offers a clean, gentle flame suited to both modern interiors and mindful rituals. Unlike many paraffin candles, the plant wax formulation produces minimal soot and smoke, allowing for a cleaner burning experience and a more natural atmosphere within the home.

Each candle is carefully crafted using techniques rooted in traditional Japanese candle-making practices, where attention is given not only to performance but also to the subtle beauty of the flame itself. The warm light flickers gently and evenly, bringing a sense of stillness and quiet refinement to dining tables, tea ceremonies, meditation spaces, or evening relaxation.

Simple in appearance yet deeply thoughtful in execution, the Daiyo Ivory Rice Wax Candles reflect the Japanese appreciation for objects that elevate everyday moments through craftsmanship and harmony.

Care Instructions:

• Always place candles upright on a heatproof surface or candle stand.
• Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting for an even burn.
• Keep candles away from drafts to maintain a steady flame.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Extinguish by snuffing out the flame (avoid blowing to reduce smoke).
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent softening.

Please note: Due to the natural composition of rice bran wax, slight variations in surface texture or colour may occur and are considered part of the candle’s handmade character. The candles can vary from ivory to a light yellow.
