Japanese Candle NANAO A

This candle is part of the Nanao series, named after the city where the candles are crafted by hand. Designed with the theme of plants, the distinctive form is taken from the flora of the Noto Peninsula. Made of plant-based wax, the candles burn with bigger and brighter flames than regular candles and also produce less soot. The wick is created from wrapping washi (Japanese paper) around a rush grass centre. Ideal for candle-lit dinners and special occasions or just to engage in a relaxing mindfulness session or meditative yoga.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
