Know before you buy
Nambu ironware is a traditional Japanese craft known for its exceptional durability and heat retention. Using this material ensures the stand is rust-resistant, heavy enough to remain stable on your table, and built to last for generations.
The choice depends on the diameter of the Japanese candles you intend to use. The Small stand measures 1.3 inches wide, while the Medium measures 1.6 inches; we recommend measuring the base of your candles to ensure a secure fit.
While specifically designed for Japanese candles, the flat, stable surface can accommodate various candle types, including votives, tealights, and small jar candles, provided they fit within the dimensions of the stand.
The Nambu ironware is naturally rust-resistant and requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth if it gathers dust; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to preserve the matte black finish.
Yes, because it is crafted from solid cast iron, the stand is naturally weighted. This provides a low center of gravity that keeps your candle secure and stable during use.
