HAZE is a warosoku (Japanese candle) maker based in Kawagoe, a city in Saitama prefecture. Using the ancient Japanese technique of “Tegake-seiho”, where wax is applied in sequential layers, HAZE's candles are entirely hand-crafted by skilled artisans. Their candles are made with its namesake plant, haze, the fruit of the Japanese wax tree. This natural material creates a powerful flame that produces very little soot. Haze wax is made in Fukuoka and Nagasaki, while the wicks are made in Nara. Following the traditional Japanese style, the production of the wick, wax and final candle is split into 3 parts.

SALT: The salt used in these candles is made by collecting seawater during high tide on the day of the full moon in Futamiura, Ise City. This special salt is also dedicated to the Ise Jingu Shrine, where it is believed that the ebb and flow of the tides reflect the human cycle of life and death. Therefore, the salt is considered to be a purifying agent and when used in a candle, it becomes a wish for purification and vitality.

HEMP: Rasen candle evokes harmony. Made with a mixture of hemp charcoal powder produced in Miyakojima of Okinawa Prefecture. Hemp has been considered a sacred plant in Japan since ancient times and is used in many rituals to clear heaviness in the air. You can feel the cleansing effects of the hemp charcoal, and this is why this candle is recommended for purification and relaxation.

ANICCA: Containing Indian incense in its wax, this candle cleanses areas for spatial tranquility. It is said that the lacquered incense originated from Indian ascetics applying the incense on their bodies to remove impurities. Rubbing one’s hands above the flame from this candle produces a similar experience.

SAGE: This Warosoku candle contains sacred herbs. These herbs have been used by Native American Indians in rituals and prayers since ancient times. The evaporated wax cleanses and purifies.
