◾️ Two-tone 10-minute candle goby and rice wax mix set
A set of 10 10-minute candles with a two-tone contrast of brown and beige that allows you to easily enjoy "meditation time".
While many candles use petroleum-based raw materials such as paraffin, they are made only from 100% plant-based ingredients, such as goby wax, which has been used as a raw material for Japanese candles since ancient times.
The calm gray box, made by asking a long-established box maker in Kyoto, enhances the world view of Japanese candles.

Time adjustable by thickness and length. Development of Japanese candles that can "design time"
At the time of development, the government proposed a "new normal" due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and people's lives changed dramatically. With the increase in working from home, "How do we spend our time at home?" has been a major theme.
While working on the concept with the desire to create a product that brightens up the time at home, we focused on the idea that "the time of a Japanese candle can be adjusted by the thickness and length, and a candle of that length can be made like an hourglass for one or two hours."
The time for reading sutras and meditation varies depending on the denomination and temple. It was very attractive to hear that at the Japanese candle manufacturing site, they have continued to make candles of different lengths according to the requests of different temples.
Fascinated by the wonderful values and technical capabilities of this Japanese candle culture, we were inspired by the technology and know-how of making candles according to the specified time by adjusting the thickness and length, and started planning and developing candles that "design time = time management".
Within the team, there were opinions such as "If I were to use it every day, one hour would be a long time" and "I want a candle that can be easily used every day."
After repeated consultations with people who wanted to make candles that could be used in 5-minute increments and sell them in easy-to-use boxes, and after repeated trial and error, they finally designed candles that were easy to use in 5-minute, 10-, and 20-minute time units as "candles that you can easily enjoy and direct your time at home."
