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 30 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 30 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.
Absolutely beautiful set! Lovely packaging. They included a handwritten card, which was a lovely touch, along with a mini-photo booklet about the candle-making process & the holder. Looking forward to making time to wind down with my set.
What a lovely creation! Finally a beautiful object made in a traditional way from beautiful sources. The packaging is equally remarkable. I’m looking forward to giving these as a gift and using my own set as well. And…the handwritten note enclosed with the package is so appreciated. Thank you!!! Keep going!!!!
