TOHAKU Candle Set of 2

TOHAKU is a series of Japanese candles wa-rousoku made from 100% sumac (natural haze plant) wax taken from the fruit of Japanese Ha-ze wax trees in Chikugo region of Kyushu.

This TOHAKU set includes two medium size candles (burn time is approximately 130 minutes each) packaged in a paper lidded box.

Candle stand is not include and you will need a stand that is the correct size for these candles, we recommend KOMA Medium stand.

The candles may look darker in colour when they have just been made but they will start to get whiter in time and will have beautiful look. 

The form of these candles is inspired by a pine forest in the pictures by Tohaku Hasegawa, one of the greatest Japanese painters from Nanao City in Ishikawa prefecture where Takazawa Candle the maker of these candles are based from 1892.

In ancient times, most of the traditional Japanese candles were made from this type of wax but the amount available had decreased rapidly in recent years.
