Since 1892, Takazawa has been mastering the art of candle making inspired by the nature of Japan. Each candle is made by hand, one at a time to ensure a steady burn and the highest quality using the grace of plants such as the fruits of sumac trees, rice bran and rapeseed flower oil.

As the material used is all-natural, it burns stably and beautifully without excess dripping and is environmentally sustainable as well. The wick is made by wrapping dried material from a plant of the Juncaceae family referred to as 'lamp wick' or rush weed around washi shaped into a cylinder. This particular way of wick making allows air to pass up from the lower part of the candle through the wick's hollow center, in addition to enabling the wick to absorb more melted wax, which in turn improves combustion and gives the candle a large, powerful flame.

The lighting of candles in Japan has come to be used as a way of making time for ourselves in the midst of busy, modern life. Candles can be lit as a way to make time for meditation or yoga, both of which restore calm to the body and mind, easing tension after returning home from work, or promote enjoyable conversation with family at dinner time. Use these candles as a way to make quality time that lasts until the flame extinguishes itself.
