LIGHTING A FLAME

In prayer, in conversation, in self reflection, the candle subtly changes its expression in response, in feather like gentleness and ethereal warmth. The flame emanates an emotion not possible with electrical lights in our daily lives. “From Monologue to dialogue” is a principle theme at Daiyo, as we constantly contemplate the innate powers of the light of a candle flame, and how human relations are derived and created from it. We will continue making candles of the highest quality in order to pass down the closely-knit relationship between flame and humans that we have weaved since generations ago.

  • A LIFESTYLE
    WITH JAPANESE CANDLE

    The space lit by a Japanese candle is boundless beyond your imagination. A cozy family meal around the dining table, a soak in a warm bath, a contemplative time on the bed as the day draws to an end. The Japanese candle is the best companion in any scenario. The slow burning of the Japanese candle is gentle, yet warms and lights up your life from within.

  • At the Dining Table TABLE

    Our “Rice Bran Candle series” burn for a long time (1.8 times longer than the average candle) and do not produce any smell. Hence, they serve as your best companions at dining tables as you indulge in precious family time or meals with your guests.

  • IN THE BATHROOM

    Our “Rice Bran Block Candles” are perfect in your bathrooms as they do not require any candle stands. Two or three candles are sufficient to brighten up the bathroom. Unwind and pamper yourself soaking in a warm bath with our candles.

  • BY THE BED

    Our “Rice Wax Candles” that burn for a short time are perfect by your bedside. Rest your worries as the wax does not overflow out of our candles. Enjoy the subtle dimming gradation between the on and off switches of the light. Sink gently into deep slumber in peace and repose.

  • TEA TIME

    Our Rice Bran Block Candles are recommended for tea time as they can be moved around easily on petite cafe tables. Light the candle, take a deep breath and chill. Transition back and forth between stillness and motion with our candles.

  • OVER A DRINK

    On a pensive night with a glass of wine, light up one of our “Sumac Wax Candles”. Watch the candle flame flicker and wick burn slowly like a little campfire. Relish in quality contemplative time lit by the warm glow of our candles.

  • YOGA AND MEDITATION

    Our “Rice Wax Candles” is the ideal candle for yoga and meditation sessions as the burning times are predictable and short. Furthermore, we also recommend using "Sumac Wax Candles" with their characteristically flickering incandescence or several sticks of “Rice Bran Block Candles”for their stability when placed on the ground and their warm glow. Feel the power of nature and life as they are made 100% from plant wax with no chemical additives.

ABOUT DAIYO

Daiyo was established in the Takashima county of Shiga Prefecture in 1914. The artisanship has been passed down across four generations, polished and refined as time passes. Shiga prefecture is home to Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, and an abundance of natural resources. Consequently, Shiga has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on the coexistence of man and nature. Daiyo’s Japanese candles are 100% made from natural plant wax. Our principles of making candles from the blessings of nature have remained unchanged since our establishment more than a century ago.

ABOUT JAPANESE CANDLES

At Daiyo, utilizing 100% local and natural plant wax, our artisans meticulously craft our candles by hand. By using a sustainable resource, our Japanese candles made for home-use do not produce smoke nor does the melted wax flow out of the candle. Our candles are practically odorless too. Environmental-friendliness is the greatest feature of Daiyo’s Japanese candles.

    Rice Bran Block Candle L

    size_dia88 x 210mm, 120 hrs., 1pc-pack
    material_Rice bran wax, cotton

    This is a plant-based candle 100% made from Japanese rice bran wax. Rice bran wax is harder than other waxes conventionally used for candles thus lasts substantially longer.
    These rice bran wax candles are perfect for use in dinning scenes as they last for a very long time. Thanks to the natural material, the candles produce less soot and smell.

    Block Candles come in three sizes:
    Small
    Medium
    Large

    Tips When Extinguishing the Flame:
    Use a pair of tweezers to clip the wick and sink it into the pool of melted wax. Ensure the flame is extinguished before putting the wick upright again. This makes it possible to extinguish the flame without producing smoke!
