Mini Rice Bran Wax Candles
Tiny rice bran wax candles Komenuka Rousoku sold as a set of 10 earthy colours tucked nicely in Daiyo's original lidded box. The story behind the iconic cat trying to catch a mouse illustrated on the box is that as the Japanese candles use natural wax which mice love, it is said that every Japanese candle maker has always had a cat to keep the mice away.
Each tiny candle burns for 15 minutes, so they are great for a quick meditation or for a mini break between stressful desk work, etc. Made with 100% natural and sustainable materials, these Japanese candles are handcrafted by craftsmen in Shiga prefecture by Daiyo.
Japanese candles are completely handmade and give very little smoke and larger and brighter flame than modern paraffin candles. Unlike traditional Ha-ze sumac candles, these rice bran wax candles are made using casts, although all are handmade.
Candle stand does NOT include. These mini candles go with Cast Iron square candle stand "small".
