This set includes 10 candles perfect for enjoying a quality 20-minute meditation. While many candles on the market use petroleum-based ingredients like paraffin, these candles are made solely from 100% plant-based materials such as haze (pronounced ha-zeh) wax, which has been used as a raw material for traditional Japanese candles. Haze wax candles, derived from the Japanese wax tree, are virtually scentless, produce minimal soot, and are known for their stability and resistance to dripping.
One unique feature of Japanese candles is their adjustability in burn time based on their thickness and length, allowing for candles of various durations similar to an hourglass.
Kyoto boasts countless Buddhist temples and institutions, each with its rituals and meditation practices conducted at varying times. In candle workshops dedicated to traditional Japanese candle making, artisans have been crafting candles tailored to the specific length requirements of different temples for generations, ensuring that each candle suits the unique meditation schedules of various religious institutions.
