Set of Six Small Tohaku Sumac Wax Candles

Since 1892, the candle making company Takazawa Candle has been providing the candlelight in harmony with nature from Japan.

Takazawa candles' flames are bigger and brighter than other companies. The flame comes from a special wick made from a unique recipe dating back to the 16th century, and it is the symbol of ancestral wisdom. At a time when there were no electric lights, light means candles, and a lot of thought was put into making candlelight brighter. Their wick is made from plant-based materials such as dried rush and washi-paper, thus symbolising the beautiful relationship between their ancestors and nature.
