Please read: This box does not include the "shokudai" candle stand needed to burn this type of Japanese candle
A box of 10 natural Japanese candles that burn for 10 minutes each.
We use them as a timer for meditation and other mindful activities, allowing us to keep our devices turned off.
Made from a precious natural Japanese wax called "mokuro", which is pressed from the drupes of the Japanese "haze" tree.
Note: these candles are designed to burn on the brass "shokudai" candle stand that we designed for them. If you're purchasing for the first time, we recommend the starter set.
3 unique features of these candles:
- Designed to burn for exactly 10 minutes, making it a great alternative to a phone timer.
- Made by the only maker in Japan that is carrying on the traditional wax-making method (read more below)
- Burns cleanly and completely, leaving only a bit of ash behind.
Made in Shimabara, Nagasaki
Honda Mokuro is wax and candle maker in the seaside town of Shimabara, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Here, they handle every single process of wax and candle making, in-house:
- Planting "haze" trees
- Harvesting the drupes of the trees
- Processing and extracting the natural wax from those drupes
- Making traditional Japanese candles.
In addition, they are now the only workshop left in all of Japan that makes "mokuro" wax with the traditional press method, extracting the wax without the use of chemicals.
Although the yield is only half of what it could be if they used chemicals, they do it this way because they believe in the importance of preserving tradition.
Honda Mokuro's candles are special and can't be found anywhere else in Japan. We are honored to collaborate with them to present these original miniature-sized Japanese candles.
Beautiful! made with such care. Will def be reordering !!! Love the quiet sound the candle makes while burning- so calm and helps me focus on being in the moment.
A remarkable company run by two remarkable people. It is so refreshing to see this level of authenticity and care in their products. Hand written thank you notes! And next level professional packaging. I’m blown away. I’ve already purchased more candles and will be gifting another set to a friend. Couldn’t be happier with this product and their company.
So beautiful! Love everything about them. My new favourite morning ritual. Thankyou for the love and the care!
I've fallen in love with Shi Zen candles. Each one feels like a tiny piece of art with its own story and symbolism. They've become part of my daily rituals, bringing a sense of beauty, intention, and quiet reflection to my space. Even unlit, they make me smile. It's rare to find something that is both so visually stunning and so deeply meaningful.
I've added these 20-minute candles and the shokudai to my evening meditation. Both candles and shokudei are simple, and I can feel the intent that has gone into making the candles especially. I find I can transition into a meditation zone more quickly and stay there by focusing on the flame.
