Handemade Rice Bran Japanese Candle

Sorry, this item is no longer available. 

Plant-based candles made from 100% rice bran wax.
Rice bran wax is harder and substantially longer lasting than other waxes used in candles. For a candle of this size, the continuous burning time is a surprising 48 hours.

These rice bran block candles are ideal for use at the dinner table due to their long burning time, also extremely low odour, low soot, and low wax dripping.

Handcrafted by traditional Japanese candle craftsmen by Daiyo established in 1914 in Shiga, Japan.

What is Japanese Candle

Japanese candles ("Wa Rousoku" in Japanese) are 100% plant-based. They are made from the fruit of the Japanese sumac tree (Rhus succedanea) or rice bran wax, and Washi paper for the core.
Japanese candles are mentioned in the "Taihei-ki" around 1375. It is thought that they began to be made around that time.
