Joining the TAKAZAWA CANDLE family is the TOHAKU candles which are available in a set. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOHAKU is an homage to "The Pine Trees Screen," drawn by Tohaku Hasegawa who is one of the most famous painters in Japan. The pine trees in the painting are of the landscape of Nanao City, and he drew it while recollecting his memories of the beautiful nature of his childhood home. The flame is an extension of the gentle lines of these trees, reminding you of a rustic simplicity. The candles are made from plant-based raw material such as the fruits of HAZE (sumac) . The natural energy stored in these plants are utilised when these candles are burned, thus making them eco-friendly and yes, vegan. The wick is made by laboriously rolling the combination of WASHI-paper, rush weed, and silk fibre. The flame of the TAKAZAWA candles is bigger and brighter. This is due to the structure of the traditional wick which is thicker in diameter . When extinguished, the candles release less soot and less unpleasant odour thanks to the natural, plant-based waxes. #takazawa #candlelighttherapy #light #japanesecandles #decore #simplicity #handmadeobjects #handmade #vegan https://www.instagram.com/p/CApAui_n3xd/?igshid=162w20pl6ys1e
