Made from natural soy wax and housed in Japanese ceramic cups, our candles will transport you to Japan through ambience and scent. Currently available in three sizes, our candles are made-to-order and use wooden wicks, that burn evenly and create a very subtle crackle sound when lit.
Our candles are housed in ceramic cups that are sourced and made in Japan, and highlight Japanese craftsmanship. Due to their artisan handcrafted nature, our ceramic vessels may vary in size, glaze and texture. Each scent is a reminder of a moment in time and a specific space during our travels and experiences in Japan.
Every aspect of our candles has been carefully chosen and curated to create an unforgettable sensory experience within a space.
Our candles are hand-poured with care and and attention to detail. We ensure all candles made are consistent and provided in great condition.
Here are some general care instructions:
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Ensure your burning candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface
- Never move a burning candle
- Store your candle in a cool, dry place, and away from direct sunlight
Additionally, to ensure you get the most out of your candle, here are some things we suggest:
- Before every use, trim the wick to 3-5mm to prevent the wick from smoking, and ensure a clean, even burn.
- On first use, allow the candle wax to burn all the way to the edge of the vessel. This will help prevent tunneling.
- Avoid burning your candle for more than 2-3 hours at a time.
- Once wax level has reached 1-1.5cm from the bottom of the vessel, please discontinue use.
- If you’re trimming the wick after use, please allow the wax to cool and harden first.
Once you’re finished with your candle, you’re now free to use it for whatever you wish.
To wash the leftover wax and fragrance, simply using hot water and detergent.

FAQ
We schedule our crafting time every Wednesday and Friday, and candles require approximately 2-4 days of production time. Once produced and processed, it will take an additional 5-10 working business days to arrive at its destination.
Because our products are made-to-order, they require time to be made and cured.
When burning your candle for the first time, allow the candle to burn all to the edge of the vessel, this will prevent your candle from tunneling around the wick of your next burn.
To get the best out of our candle, we recommend:
- Trim the wick to 3-5mm before every use to prevent the wick from smoking to ensure a clean and even burn
- Store your candle in a cool, dry place and away form direct sunlight
- Once wax level has reached 1-1.5cm from the bottom of the vessel, fill the vessel with boiling water leaving space at the top and let it sit for a few minutes to melt the remaining wax, which will float to the surface. While warm, use a fork to dislodge and lift the wick sticker from the centre. Discard water and wax in the bin, as wax will clog a drain. Use warm water and soap to clean your vessel, once dry it can be re-purposed and re-used
The burn time varies based on the size of the candle.
We currently have 3 vessel sizes to choose from:
- Our Small 小 Sho Candle burns for approximately 18 hours
- Our Medium 中 Choo Candle burns for approximately 24 hours
- Our Large 大 Dai Candle burns for up to approximately 35 hours
Proper care and maintenance, such as trimming the wick, can extend the burn time.
