5 candles in Washi-paper box (handmade)

The hollow core of the wick allows oxygen to be drawn up from the bottom so that the flame consumes more melted wax, thus increasing the combustion power and creating a powerful flame. The candle body is oſten made from natural ingredient such as fruit of the wax tree, lacquer tree, or rice brans.

• Place the candle in place out of reach of wind and breezes, even if inside of the house.
• During burning, keep the wick ca. 1cm: cut the black burnt wick with the candle snuffer or a metal tweezer, so that the flame stays stable.
• To extinguish, use the candle snuffer or a metal tweezer. Melted wax may splatter, if you extinguish the candle by blowing it out.
• While burning, keep candles within your sight. Do not leave the room without extinguishing the flame completely.
