DAIYO, with a hundred years of history, is dedicated to crafting authentic Japanese candles made from 100% vegetable wax. This aspect is of utmost importance and serves as the hallmark of the genuine Japanese candles that DAIYO takes pride in creating.











As the material used is all-natural, it burns stably and beautifully without excess dripping wax and is environmentally sustainable as well.



The wax harvested from the sumac trees called HAZE originally came from Ryukyu (Okinawa) in the Edo period (1603 - 1868). The HAZE trees are found particularly in western Japan and have been bred to make them suitable for candle-making.
