Daiyo Mini Candles

Tiny rice bran wax candles Komenuka Rousoku sold as a set of 10 earth or summer colours tucked nicely in Daiyo‘s original lidded box. The story behind the iconic cat trying to catch a mouse illustrated on the box is that as the Japanese candles use natural wax which mice love, it is said that every Japanese candle maker has always had a cat to keep the mice away.

Each tiny candle burns for 15 minutes, so they are great for a quick meditation or for a mini-break between stressful desk work, etc. Made with 100% 100% local, natural plant wax and sustainable materials, these Japanese candles are handcrafted by craftsmen in Shiga prefecture by Daiyo. Traditional Japanese candles are completely handmade and give very little smoke and larger and brighter flame than modern paraffin candles.

Environmental-friendliness is the greatest feature of Daiyo’s Japanese candles.
