Traditional Japanese candles, known as warosoku are a uniquely shaped candle design with the power to captivate and calm observers with their large, yet graceful, clear flame

They hold great cultural significance in Japan, particularly given their cruelty-free nature and pleasing aesthetics

Warosoku are made from bran rice and other plant extracts, and are known for their particular shape and distinctive scent when burning. The flame is also much larger than their western counterparts due to the wick being much thicker
