Nanohana Vegetable Oil Candles

I am a box of vegetable oil candles. Take one down and pass it around, plenty of light to spread around!

Curator's Notes

With 40 pieces in each box, the nanohana candles are a great value. Each candle is made from unscented canola oil wax using traditional techniques, but what makes them really special is it's hollow washi paper core. The flame produced by the paper wick is known in Japan for producing a brighter more unique flame. Each candle burns for approximately 50 mins. Small size candle stand is not included but can be found here.
