Haze Traditional Japanese Candles - Set of Five

Haze candles are entirely hand-crafted by skilled artisans. The candles are made with its namesake plant, haze, the fruit of the Japanese wax tree. This natural material creates a powerful flame that produces very little soot. Haze wax is made in Fukuoka and Nagasaki, while the wicks are made in Nara. Following the traditional Japanese style, the production of the wick, wax and final candle is split into 3 parts. 60-minute burning time per candle. Enjoy these candles with the Haze Traditional Candle Holder (sold separately). Made in Japan.

SALT: The salt used in these candles involves 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. The salt is considered to be a purifying agent and when used in a candle, it becomes a wish for purification and vitality.

HEMP: Evoking harmony, these candles are 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. Hemp charcoal has a cleansing effect, making this candle ideal for purification and relaxation.

Haze is a warosoku (Japanese candle) maker based in Kawagoe, a city in Saitama prefecture. The studio employs the ancient Japanese technique of “Tegake-seiho”, where wax is applied in sequential layers.
