While many candles on the market today are made from petroleum, Omori Warosoku candles only use ingredients that come directly from nature. Made from 100% natural sumac “haze” (pronounced hah-zay), a type of scarce wax found only in East Asia, Omori craftsmen make each candle by hand, scooping 115°F degree wax without any protective gloves to layer them around a solid rush fiber wick. The wider the candle becomes, the larger the flame it produces. Omori’s process of building these candles layer by layer liken them to the rings on a tree. Due to the natural material used, they are non-toxic with little odor and soot when the candle light is put out. Enjoy the larger in size flame with its distinct and hypnotizing ‘tremor’.

History:
For more than two centuries, the Omori Warosoku Workshop has been dedicated to upholding the time-honored art of candlemaking through methods handed down from Japan’s Edo period (1603 – 1867). Nestled in the tranquil mountain village of Uchiko, Japan, Ryotaro Omori, the seventh-generation master craftsman, carries forward this legacy. He diligently imparts his expertise to aspiring candlemakers, who typically undergo a rigorous apprenticeship under his guidance for a minimum of ten years before attaining the status of a certified candle artisan.
