Urushi Botanical Candles Set (with candle holder + snuffer)
Urushi is known as lacquer but it also refers to the tree's name, lacquer tree. Urushi Botanical candles are made with wax taken from the fruit of locally grown Urushi trees in the Noto region in Ishikawa prefecture where is known as the home for the well-known lacquerware crafts wajima-nuri. The fruit of the urushi trees are harvested only in small quantities in autumn every year.
The wick is made by wrapping a dried reed around a washi paper cylinder, which draws air up and creates a large and luminous flame with minimal smoke. These Japanese traditional candles are called wa-rousoku and they are handcrafted using traditional techniques by skilled craftsmen - there are only a handful of craftsmen for these precious works left today in Japan.
This listing is for a Urushi Botanical candles set with 4 small urushi candles + 1 cast iron candle stand + a brass candle snuffer. There is also a smaller set with 4 candles and just a candle holder without candle snuffer (see listing here).
Each set comes with a leaflet in English and packaged in paper lidded box ready and perfect to be gifted.
Candle snuffer and candle stand (small) are also available individually if you would like more than included in these sets.
Each urushi candle burns for approximately 50 minutes.
