Made of 100% natural rice wax, these fun, tiny candles burn for 15 minutes and are ideal for your daily meditation or as a timer for short breaks.

Each Daiyo candle is handmade by master candle-making craftsmen in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, using 100% natural materials that burn cleanly. The hollow candle wick is made from washi paper, rush weeds, and silk fibers. A piece of washi paper is rolled and wrapped with rush weeds, and silk fibers are used to hold the weeds in place. The wick burns stably and beautifully with a larger flame than conventional candles.

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. Their principles of making candles from the blessings of nature have remained unchanged since their establishment more than a century ago.
