Ancient Japanese Candle Making

Ancient Japanese Candle Making

In the 1800s, Japan’s candle-making tradition stood at a crossroads where the artisanal glow of handcrafted warosoku met the efficiency of imported tin candle moulds. These candles, made from haze berry wax and wrapped in washi paper and igusa rush grass wicks, were more than mere light sources, they were symbols of ritual, craftsmanship, and a delicate balance between tradition and modernity. Discover how Japan’s candle-makers preserved their heritage while embracing innovation in this illuminating journey through flame, fragrance, and technique.
