Warousoku - Japanese Candles
‘Wa-rousoku’ literally means "Japanese candles."
All the candles selected by Uguisu are made from 100% plant-derived materials such as ha-ze (lacquer tree seed wax), nuka (rice bran wax), and washi paper for the core.
What we call Genuine Traditional Ha-ze Candles are crafted using techniques and materials that have remained unchanged since the 16th century, now carried on by only a handful of Japanese craftsmen. Other candles are also handmade but created using molds, allowing for larger production, while traditional sumac wax candles are available only in limited quantities.
All of these Japanese vegan candles produce very little soot and burn with a larger, brighter flame compared to paraffin candles.
