The "Maha-ro Wa-Rōsoku" is a traditional Japanese candle.It is made using a rush wick and *haze* wax from Kyushu, crafted by traditional Japanese candle artisans using the "hand-dipped" method.We recommend lighting it with the "Mitsuyoshi Candle Stand" specifically designed for Japanese candles.
* **A flickering flame's light**The rush wick smoothly draws up wax and sends it to the flame, creating a beautiful flicker even without a breeze. The flame from *haze* wax is slightly lower, appearing red and gentle on the eyes, making you want to gaze at it.
* **Little soot**Compared to paraffin candles derived from petroleum, *haze* wax Japanese candles produce less soot, which can be easily wiped away to keep them clean, thus minimizing room soiling.
* **Wax drips less**In the past, Japanese people found beauty not only in the light but also in the way candles burned beautifully without dripping.Therefore, with quiet indoor air conditioning, Japanese candles will hardly drip.
* ***Haze* wax comes from the fruit of the *haze* tree in Kyushu***Haze* wax is extracted by pressing the fruit of the *haze* tree, which grows in Kyushu. *Haze* wax is unique to Japan and has the properties of producing little soot and being viscous, making it resistant to dripping.
* **Why Japanese candles burn beautifully**While common candles are made by pouring melted wax into a mold and letting it solidify, Japanese candles are made by artisans one by one, dipping the rush wick into wax by hand, letting it solidify, and repeating the process. When viewed from above, the layers of wax on a Japanese candle resemble tree rings. These wax layers prevent the wax from dripping, causing Japanese candles to shorten slowly and quietly. The rush wick creates a flickering flame.
* **Wick trimming is necessary**The rush wick is thicker than common thread wicks, so burnt wick remnants can remain. These must be removed periodically by "wick trimming." Watching the flame and tending to the light also contributes to safety. "Wick trimming," born from hospitality and consideration, can be considered an aspect of Japanese candle culture. *The "Mitsuyoshi Candle Stand" for Japanese candles includes a wick trimmer and a soot catcher.*
* **Burning time**The burning time for the Maha-ro Wa-Rōsoku No. 30 is 4 hours.
