This is a Warosoku (Japanese candle) made from natural Haze (sumac) wax. Unscented, only made with the natural materials. Beautifully handcrafted by artisans, each candle uses a traditional wick made with washi Japanese paper, unique to Warousoku. 

Rasen candle evokes harmony. Made with a mixture of hemp charcoal powder produced in Miyakojima of Okinawa Prefecture. Hemp has been considered a sacred plant in Japan since ancient times and is used in many rituals to clear heaviness in the air. You can feel the cleansing effects of the hemp charcoal, and this is why this candle is recommended for purification and relaxation. 

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.
