Japanese Candle
HAZE - JAPANESE CANDLE
Warosoku candles are hand-crafted in Kawagoe, a city in Saitama. Warosoku are made using the ancient Japanese technique of “Tegake-seiho,” where wax is applied in sequential layers. Haze candles are made with it’s namesake fruit, haze, the fruit of the Japanese wax tree. This 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. Here at Haze we enjoy honoring past traditions while also looking towards a bright future.
