Japanese Wa-Rousoku (Traditional Candles) Experience the serene beauty of Japanese culture through the majestic glow of Wa-Rousoku. Dating back to the Muromachi period, these traditional candles reached their peak in the Edo era. Unlike mass-produced paraffin candles, Wa-Rousoku utilize premium botanical wax derived from sumac berries. The unique wick, handcrafted by wrapping Japanese paper with rush pith (the material used in Tatami mats), creates a dynamic, flickering flame that embodies the aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. Today, these candles remain essential for the solemn atmospheres of shrines, temples, Kabuki theater, and tea ceremonies. Enjoy the elegant illumination and artistic presence of these authentic Japanese candles in your own space. Size Length (Approx.) Burn Time (Approx.)
