I am a set of Komenomegumi Candles. Sacrificing one of our own can shine light on an entire room, so we’ve learned how to take one for the team. We were born as beacons of light, to live and die for the greater good.
Curator's Notes
These washi paper core candles are made with rice bran wax, which is derived from the rice bran that is widely cultivated in Japan and often used for eco-friendly face oils and cleansing products. Popular because of their large flames and minimal smoke, they have been hand-made in Japan with traditional techniques since the 16th century. Each candle burns for about 30 minutes. Small candle stand not included but can be found .
