Know before you buy
Sumac wax is a traditional, plant-based material harvested from the fruit of the sumac tree. It produces a brighter, more stable flame and tends to drip less than many conventional waxes, offering a cleaner and more natural burning experience.
Each candle in the Tohaku set has a burn time of approximately 80 minutes. This makes them ideal for short, mindful rituals or evening relaxation.
Yes, because these candles are 1.6 cm in diameter, you will need a candle holder designed for traditional Japanese candles or a standard taper holder that can accommodate this specific base size.
Yes, the wicks are crafted using traditional plant-based fibers. This construction is designed to work in harmony with the sumac wax to ensure a steady, consistent flame.
The candles are inspired by the famous 'Pine Trees' screen painted by Tohaku Hasegawa. The design aims to reflect the rustic simplicity of nature and the aesthetic elegance found in Japanese ink wash paintings.
