Complete your Rockaku set with the hexagonal candle snuffer, it can be used to extinguish candles easily and quickly.

A candle snuffer is commonly used to extinguish the flame to avoid blowing melted wax off. The hexagonal shape symbolizes balance, harmony, and stability, while the turtle shell pattern symbolizes longevity and good fortune in Japan since ancient times.The Rockaku Snuffer has a nice contrast created between the wood and Jesmonite, a non-flammable material, that can be used to extinguish not only the Rockaku candles but any other candles that will fit within the opening of the snuffer.

Daiyo

With a hundred years of history behind them, DAIYO is committed to make genuine Japanese candles with 100% vegetable wax. Established in Shiga prefecture in 1914, DAIYO candles are handcrafted by artisans using a traditional technique called “Tegake.” “Tegake” is a procedure in which the wax is applied on the wick with bare hands and dried, with the process being repeated several times--in candles made by using Tegake, you can see the number of layers around the wick. With conditions such as atmosphere, temperature, and even physical and mental condition of the craftsman affecting the application of the wax, it is crucial to be in the “now” when making candles using Tegake. It takes about 10 years to become a veteran craftsman of Japanese candles, signifying the ability to manage a variety of situations and make candles of consistent quality--it is through these techniques that DAIYO makes their candles. By using all natural material, the flames of their candles burn stably and beautifully, without excess dripping wax, and are earth friendly as well.
