Genuine Japanese Hand-made candles
Each candle is diligently hand-made by the master craftsmen at DAIYO using 100% natural materials. The Japanese candlewick is hollow made of WASHI-paper, rush weeds, and silk fibers. A piece of WASHI-paper is first rolled and wrapped with rush weeds. Silk fibers are then used to hold the weeds in place.
The sumac wax is a scarce material and the fruit can be harvested only in East Asia. Blocks of sumac wax are heated in the pot to be molten. The candle craftsman scoops the molten wax with his left hand geared with the special jig made of bamboo and rolls the Japanese candle wicks, into which glass fiber sticks are inserted, using his right hand to put a layer of wax around the wicks. The wicks are dried and then the same process is repeated over again many times until the candle is the desired length and diameter.
