We use these candles as a timer for meditation and other mindful activities, allowing us to keep our devices turned off and our minds focused in the present moment.
The original brass candle stand is handmade by a workshop in Tsubame-sanjo, Niigata prefecture, and is designed to allow the candles to burn completely.
The candles are made from a precious natural Japanese wax called "mokuro", which is pressed from the drupes of the Japanese "haze" tree.
3 unique features of these candles:
- Designed to burn for exactly 10, 20, or 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m genuinely impressed with these meditation candles. They’re a wonderfully simple and low-tech way to mark time during practice, and the gentle flicker of the flame creates a sense of spaciousness that really supports settling in.
The owners are incredibly attentive and responsive — it’s obvious how much care they put into every part of their work. The incense is also excellent: very subtle, not overwhelming, and thoughtfully designed with a little guide that shows how to break it into time increments for timed meditation.
The packaging is beautiful and minimalist, and everything feels intentional and calming from the moment you open the box. I’ll definitely be giving these to the meditators I know and love.
I love these meditation candles and the brass candle holder/stand. Not only are the candles beautiful to watch burn (perfect for a gazing meditation), they burn neatly and cleanly. And the craftsmanship and history behind them is beautiful as well. I am enjoying using these candles as my meditation ‘timer’. I would highly recommend them.
I love these candles , and the holder . They arrive so beautifully packaged., and you can feel all the love and care that went into all stages of the design. use them for direct contemplation mediation, and am thrilled with them .
These candles are so lovely, with a bright big flame and clean burn. Such care went into making them.
