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.
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.
