The beautifully shaped round block candle, is made from natural and sustainable materials. The handmade candles are made from rice bran wax, which creates a harder body, burns longer and produces less smoke, perfect for atmospheric evenings at a long table. The wax burns fragrance-neutrally with minimal smoke and a large, stable flame.

If a burnt wick gets long, it can be removed with tweezers or a Candle Snuffer to prevent the candle from burning down too quickly.

Daiyo, with its hundred-year history, uses 100% local and natural plant wax, carefully handcrafted by artisans. By using a sustainable resource, the Japanese candles for home use do not produce smoke nor does the melted wax flow out of the candle. The candles are also virtually odourless. Eco-friendliness is the greatest feature of the Japanese candles by Daiyo.

The candle are jellied in a beautiful cardboardbox. The burning time is approx. 96 hours each

The wax surface of the candle should liquefy completely once during the first use to ensure an even burn. The wick should be exactly in the middle, if necessary adjust it with a candle snuffer while burning. Before each use, the wick should be shortened to about 5 mm.
