Time Until Shipping5 daysTime Until Shipping as configured

Whereas western candles have a thin cotton string, authentic Japanese wicks are made from Japanese paper (washi) wrapped in Igusa grass (used to make tatami matts) and cotton fibers. The candles generate minimal soot, are wind resistant, and provide a soft, warm and gentle light. 　

These twelve painted candles shows the symbols of the Chinese zodiac, which also is commonly used in Japan. The pictures are drawn onto the candles with Japanese black ink by hand. Each candle is signed "HIHIRO". Hihiro is the first name of Hihiro Matsui who paints the candles her father makes by hand. 

The Japanese zodiac candles are a perfect gift for a birthday or for the beginning of a year as each year officially is under the motto of one of the 12 zodiacs.

  • Whereas western candles have a thin cotton string, authentic Japanese wicks are made from Japanese paper (washi) wrapped in Igusa grass (used to make tatami matts) and cotton fibers. The candles generate minimal soot, are wind resistant, and provide a soft, warm and gentle light. 

    A lot of time and craftsmanship goes into producing each and every candle; There are fifteen different steps, some of which require several cycles. The MATSUI Candle Atelier has been established in 1907 and Mr. Noriaki Matsui is now one of the approximately 20 craftsman in Japan left to master the skill of handmade, traditional warosoku. He exercises particular care in selecting high quality, environmental-friendly raw materials. The Candles are made of Vegetable wax and Japanese paper, and are therefore plant based/vegan. 

    Here is a list of the 12 zodiacs, their kanji characters and the years they apply:

  • Japanese Candle Producer Matsui

    The MATSUI Candle Atelier has been established in 1907 and Mr. Noriaki Matsui is now one of the approximately 20 craftsman in Japan left to master the skill of handmade, traditional warosoku. MATSUI candles are characterized by delicate lines, beautiful growth ring patterns, and a large and bright flickering flame.

    All candles are hand-made and hand-painted by the Matsui family. Whereas Mr. Noriaki is always busy crafting and hand-rolling the rosoku, his daughter Hiriro is in charge of hand painting all the e-rosoku. She designs and decorates each candle and sometimes even adds crystals.
