Candle No. 3 and Koma candlestand set

This gift set consists of seven No. 3 candles and one small candlestick in a paulownia wood box. The main ingredient of Candles Todohaku is the nut of the Japanese sumac tree (Haze) from Chikugo, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Haze has long been used as a raw material for candles, as well as for crayons and pomade oil used in the topknots of sumo wrestlers.
Japanese candles were born out of the wisdom of our ancestors, who were able to recycle plants by growing and using them themselves, rather than using minerals and other limited resources.
Japanese candles were born from the wisdom of our ancestors. However, the production of Hazerow has been decreasing year by year, and now there are only a few companies that produce Hazerow.
Takazawa Candles supports the production side by making candles from Hazerow. This candle connects people who use the candle, people who collect hazelow, people who sell the candle, and people who are involved with the candle.

〇The white powder floating on the surface is a unique characteristic of vegetable wax, and is a crystallization of fatty oil content.
It can be wiped off with a cloth. It can also be used as it is.

・Japanese candles cannot stand on their own and require a candlestick. Please use a candlestick that fits the candle's hole. If the wick of the candlestick is too thick, insert the candle into the hole and lightly press the wick when it stops to hold the candle in place.
・Place a piece of caster under the candlestick to protect the table.
・Avoid using candles with chips or cracks.
・The characteristic of Japanese candles is that they have a large, bright flame. Do not leave the candle unattended while it is lit.
・Do not use near flammable materials.
・Use in a safe and level place where there is no wind.
・When lighting multiple candles, please separate them from each other as the wax will drip if they are too close to each other.
・When burning Japanese candles, the wick may carbonize and the flame may become too large. If this happens, cut off the remaining black wick to adjust the flame size. If you do not have a wick cutter, use a non-flammable object such as metal chopsticks to pinch off the wick and dispose of it in an ashtray.
・To prevent burns, do not touch the flame, melted wax or candlestick.
・Do not blow on the candle to extinguish it as this may cause the melted wax to scatter. It is recommended to use a wick cutter or candle extinguisher.
・When disposing of leftover candles after extinguishing, soak them in a container of water for a while before disposing of them.
・Do not use in a closed room without proper ventilation.
・Keep out of reach of children.
・Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Takazawa Candles was established in 1892 and has been making Japanese candles in Noto Nanao. Japanese candles are made mainly from vegetable wax, with a wick made of Japanese paper and kanshin grass. Compared to Western candles, Japanese candles made from vegetable wax produce less soot and do not damage Buddhist altars. The wick made of Japanese paper burns while absorbing the melted wax, preventing the wax from dripping, and burns out cleanly to the end, without smell or stain. The wick is made by wrapping Japanese paper around a stick and carefully wrapping each wick with a light wick made from rushes. By wrapping the paper around the stick, a cavity is created in the top of the wick, and when lit, air is drawn in through the hole to draw in the flame, resulting in a large flickering flame that is difficult to extinguish. It is a gentle candle made of natural materials. The flickering bright flame will bring you “a moment of light
