Sumac Wax Candle 4/pc
Hand-made in Japan with 100% natural Sumac.
Each candle has a burn time of 70 minutes and measures 5.5”.
The Japanese candle wick 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.
Blocks of sumac wax is 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.
Thanks to the structure and making processes of the Japanese candles, they burn stably and beautifully with a larger flame than the conventional western candles. As only natural ingredients are used, they create less soot and odor when extinguished.
