✔ Minimal dripping – wax is absorbed by the wick

✔ Low soot and smoke – cleaner than regular candles
✔ Handcrafted one by one by skilled artisans

[ Lighting Instructions ]

• If the wick is difficult to light for the first time, gently press the tip to expose the inner Japanese paper.
• These candles are designed for single-use burning.
• If re-lighting the candle, make a small hole at the tip of the wick before lighting.

[ Wick Trimming ]

• During burning, it is necessary to trim the tip of the wick.
• Use a tool that can grasp and cut the wick, such as fire tongs or a cigar cutter.
• When the tip of the wick droops slightly, grasp the tip and cut it off. Leave about 2 cm (0.8 inches) of wick remaining.
• The trimmed wick will still be hot, so place it in a non-flammable dish such as ceramic.

[ Extinguishing the Flame ]

• Do not blow out the flame with your hand, breath, or a fan.
• Cut the flame at its base to extinguish it.
• If the candle burns all the way down, press down the remaining wick or cover it with a non-flammable object to prevent smoke and odor.
• You can also extinguish the flame by dipping the tip of the wick in oil. Make sure only the tip is submerged.

[ Storage Instructions ]

• Store in a cool, dark place. The melting point is low, so exposure to high temperatures may cause the candle to soften or melt (approximately 50–56°C / 122–133°F).
• Do not refrigerate, as extreme cold may cause the surface to crack and peel.
