TOHAKU CANDLE SET BY TAKAZAWA

A symbol of ancestral wisdom, a beautifully considered candle set complete with 7 Tohaku Japanese candles and iron candle stand. 

TOHAKU is an homage to ‘The Pine Trees screen’, drawn by Tohaku Hasegawa, one of the most famous painters in Japan. The flame is an extension of the gentle lines of these trees, reminding you of a rustic simplicity.

The shape of the candle is also inspired by the pine trees of Noto. The white powder on the surface of the TOHAKU candle is unique to the haze wax, evoking the serene and profound atmosphere of the "Pine Trees Screen," which is shrouded in mist.

The flame comes from a special wick made from a unique recipe dating back to the 16th century, and it is the symbol of ancestral wisdom. The wick is made from plant-based materials such as dried rush and washi-paper, thus symbolising the beautiful relationship between our ancestors and nature.

The powerful flame, flickering from the simple silhouette of a candle, producing shadows in a room, creates a great atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed while you spend time with your family and close friends.

Candles are 100% natural, made from sumac wax, each candle burns for approximately 80 minutes.
