Nanao Candle Set

$68.00

A set of 5 sculptural candles, together creating a motif inspired by native plants found in the Japanese countryside where Takazawa is based. Crafted using traditional techniques, natural sumac wax is poured into molds and once set, each candle is hand-finished using a small knife. Wicks are made using dried reed and washi paper, designed specially to produce a bright clean flame. Pairs with the Cast Iron Koma Candlestand.

 

Measures 4.75" H x .75" each. 110 minute burn time. Please never leave a burning candle unattended.

Established in 1892, Takazawa is a Japanese candlemaker that is well regarded for their use of natural plant derived ingredients such as sumac, rice bran, rapeseed flower oil, dried rush, and washi-paper. Utilizing traditional techniques from a time before electricity, the wicks burn notably brighter and cleaner than the average candle.
