This elegant set from Takazawa offers a beautifully gift-boxed collection of six small \u003cstrong\u003eTOHAKU Sumac Wax Candles. \u003c\/strong\u003eIdeal for contemplative moments, simple altars, cozy dinners, or quiet ritual spaces, this set brings a soft, flickering glow that is deeply rooted in Japanese candle-making heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TOHAKU collection is a special line of candles paying homage to the paintings of Tohaku Hasegawa, one of the most famous painters in Japan. Inspired by the forests of his childhood, Tohaku's work highlighted the pine trees and forests surrounding his childhood home. The flame is meant to represent an extension of the gentle lines of these trees, reminding you of a rustic simplicity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach candle is hand-rolled using the time-honored tegake technique - applying pure sumac (haze) wax layer by layer around a hollow washi-and-rush wick. The result is a clean, stable flame that burns with a warm intensity and minimal soot. The accompanying Koma stand, crafted from cast iron in the traditional style, provides a stable, elegant base that catches any melted wax and encourages a safe, steady burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six candles are beautifully presented in a Paulownia wooden gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to each piece being made from natural Haze wax, candles come in an array of soft colours, such as, off white, muted grey and muted ochre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-natural and sustainable: Made entirely from plant-based materials, with no synthetic wax or additives. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, stable burn: Because of the natural sumac wax and traditional wick structure, these candles produce very little soot or drip - and they burn with a pleasing, stable flame. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, warm flame: The hollow washi-wick allows for a bigger, gentle flame compared to many Western-style candles. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted artistry: Each candle is made by a master artisan using a Tegake technique - applying wax manually in layers, then drying, and repeating many times. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEco-conscious design: Produced by a century-old traditional studio using sustainable \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Takazawa Candle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1892, Takazawa Candle is one of Japan’s oldest remaining traditional candle makers, based in Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture.
