Japanese Haze Candle Set in Salt

This is a set of five Warosoku (Japanese candles) made from natural sumac (haze) wax. Beautifully handcrafted by artisans, each candle uses a traditional wick made with washi paper, unique to Warousoku, that burn beautifully. The flame produced by these candles creates the most beautiful color (warm and deep orange). It will add the peaceful atmosphere to your favorite relaxing moments.

The salt used in these candles is made by collecting seawater during high tide on the day of the full moon in Futamiura, Ise City. This special salt is also dedicated to the Ise Jingu Shrine, where it is believed that the ebb and flow of the tides reflect the human cycle of life and death. Therefore, the salt is considered to be a purifying agent and when used in a candle, it becomes a wish for purification and vitality.

HAZE is a warosoku (Japanese candle) maker based in Kawagoe, a city in Saitama prefecture. Using the ancient Japanese technique of “Tegake-seiho”, where wax is applied in sequential layers, HAZE's candles are entirely hand-crafted by skilled artisans. Their candles are made with its namesake plant, haze, the fruit of the Japanese wax tree. This natural material creates a powerful flame that produces very little soot. Haze wax is made in Fukuoka and Nagasaki, while the wicks are made in Nara. Following the traditional Japanese style, the production of the wick, wax and final candle is split into 3 parts.
