TAKAZAWA CANDLE creates traditional Japanese candles, called "WA-ROUSOKU," made from natural waxes. They established their candle-making business back in 1892 in the city of Nanao, Ishikawa Pref., Japan.

The candles use different kinds of waxes that are derived from plant-based raw materials: Fruits of the HAZE (sumac) tree, rice bran, and canola flower oil. The flame of the TAKAZAWA candles is bigger and brighter than Western candles due to the structure of the wick and the thickness of the candles’ diameter. The wick is made from a combination of natural materials: WASHI paper, rush weed, and silk fiber.
