TOHAKU Candle

TOHAKU candle 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 his paintings are from the landscape of Nanao City, images drawn from the memories he recollected of his childhood home. The flame is an extension of the gentle lines of these trees, a reminder of their rustic simplicity.

These TOHAKU candles' flames burns bigger and brighter than other companies. The flame comes from a special wick made from a unique recipe dating back to the 16th century, and it is the symbol of ancestral wisdom. At a time when there were no electric lights, light means candles, and a lot of thought was put into making candlelight brighter. The wick is made from plant-based materials such as dried rush and washi paper, thus symbolizing the beautiful relationship between our ancestors and nature.
