This is the highest quality candle made by the traditional manufacturing methods and Japanese wax that specializes in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. With a white and warm texture and a sectional like a annual ring, this candle is made with a "hand" method that uses the craftsmen to apply hot raw wax by hand to create a rustic, yet cute look. The fire is stable and doesnt drip wax, and the smoke is less likely to soot and will not stain your altars and rooms. The candles have a little unique odor, so you can drop the light on the dining table and light up the candle to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. The flickering of the candle has a soothing 1/f flutter that gently came to you.
