Takazawa IKARI Candle – Large (box Of 1) Living

The term ‘Ikari’ is derived from the anchor of a ship. With its top-heavy design and slim base, it allows for the candle to burn brighter with a larger flame compared to your standard western candle. The wide top not only was designed for aesthetics but also for scientific reasons which were to prevent wax from dripping down the candle after it had been lit. Ikari candles are also suitable for a dining setting as they can continuously burn for up to 4 hours.

Tohaku candles are Made of Japanese wax known as Haze, which is cultivated from the fruit of trees grown in Chikugo, Fukuoka Prefecture.
This type of wax has been used as a raw material for candles since ancient times in Japan. Production has been decreasing every year, and at present, there are only a few companies making pure Japanese wax candles. Takazawa Candle Co. is known to be one of the finest.
Candles made of Japanese wax have a unique stickiness making the melted wax less likely to run during use.
Takazawa Candle Co. continues making efforts to protect the natural environment of the trees they cultivate and to preserve the autumn scenery filled with red-coloured leaves while producing these traditional Japanese wax candles.

Depending on the soil of the Haze tree cultivation area, and the year of wax accumulation, Takazawa Candles result in a variety of soft colours. The beautiful white powder appearing on the surface of each candle is a reliable proof of the natural material contained within.

Created for people who spend time enjoying candles, for those who harvest the wax from trees, and for nature. This is a candle that attempts to connect all involved. There is nothing quite like a gently flickering flame to enhance moments of relaxation.
