With a hundred years of history, DAIYO is dedicated to crafting authentic Japanese candles made from 100% vegetable wax. This aspect is of the utmost importance and serves as the hallmark of the genuine Japanese candles that DAIYO takes pride in creating.
The all-natural material used burns stably and beautifully without excess wax dripping, and it is also environmentally sustainable.
The wax harvested from sumac trees, called HAZE, originally came from Ryukyu (Okinawa) in the Edo period (1603 - 1868). HAZE trees are found, particularly in western Japan, and have been bred to be suitable for candle-making.
