I love candles and their warm light but, having small children around, it always made me worry that the toxicity in the smoke of the ordinary paraffin wax candles polluted the room air. Are beeswax candles the only natural alternative? No, in Japan candles were always vegan and handmade, like these super cute tiny candles made of rice bran wax. They burn for 15min, perfect for a daily relaxation or meditation time out, also great as a gift.
Because plant-based wax was attractive to mice, traditional Japanese candle makers kept cats in their studio to protect their materials. Over time, the cat became a kind of guardian symbol — and today a cat in a candle shop said to be proof that only natural ingredients are used. The playful cat on the packaging refers to this tradition.
The manufacturer Daiyo has a candle-making history of over 100 years and each candle has been hand-made by their craftsman. 100% natural materials.
