We made this brass "shokudai" candle holder specifically for our mindfulness candles, which burn for 10, 20, and 30 minutes.
The brass is shaped by hand by a craftsman in Niigata prefecture, and the candle stand sits atop a stone plate made of Oya-Ishii, a volcanic rock that has been used in Japan since ancient times for buildings and other materials.
The dish is curved so that any wax that melts down will collect at the bottom of the dish and be burned completely as the candle burns out.
The brass also reflects the candlelight, making it dance beautifully around the room.
Each piece is made by hand, and no two are exactly alike.
The brass will age and discolor with time and use, giving it a wabi-sabi aspect that we appreciate.
The needle can be unscrewed, and the two dishes separated for thorough cleaning if desired.
The candle and stand set is one of the most beautiful things I have gifted myself. Truly a calming aid for meditation and reflection. Much appreciated the hand written thank you. I can’t explain how captivating the flame is. You’ll have to get a set for yourself.

These candles have added another dimension to my meditation practice that I had not used before. They are clean burning and especially beautiful when used with the brass stand.

Really enjoy lighting this candle everyday to take 20 minutes of quiet time. The flame produced is unique and calming. Each part of the set is very well crafted and the perfect size for my little house. I look forward to continuing to purchase the candles and supporting Japanese craftsmanship.

What a lovely idea for meditation! I ordered the Mindfulness Timer candles Full Set and am so happy I did. Almost immediately I ordered sets to give as gifts. The quality of each piece is top tier. Even the packaging is high quality and my items arrived completely in tact.
Thank you, Misaki, for your personal note. This was unexpected and made me feel very special. I am telling all my friends about your store so they too can enjoy all your wonderful products!
