This is a Warosoku (Japanese candle) made from natural Haze (sumac) wax with special salt for purification. Beautifully handcrafted by artisans, each candle uses a traditional wick made with washi Japanese paper, unique to Warousoku.
Unscented, only made with the natural materials. The salt used in these candles is made by collecting seawater during high tide on the day of the full moon in Futamiura, Ise City. This special salt is also dedicated to the Ise Jingu Shrine, where it is believed that the ebb and flow of the tides reflect the human cycle of life and death. Therefore, the salt is considered to be a purifying agent and when used in a candle, it becomes a wish for purification and vitality.
Japanese wax candles (warosoku) are crafted from plant-based haze wax, pressed from the fruit of the haze tree. Compared to paraffin candles, they produce minimal smoke, soot, and odour, and are less prone to dripping. Their thick wick creates a steady, softly flickering flame with a calm presence.
The hollow-core wick allows air to flow through the candle, letting the flame gently sway and softly crackle even in stillness. This movement carries a natural “1/f fluctuation,” also found in flowing water and ocean waves, known for its calming effect on mind and body.
What we offer is not an object, but a moment of light.
Like cherry blossoms, the beauty of a warosoku flame lies in its impermanence. It becomes a quiet gift of memory and intention, given for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or moments of remembrance.
Instead of an object, we invite you to give the time of light.
