Nakamura Candle , founded in 1887 in Fushimi, Kyoto, is a traditional Japanese candle maker ( wa-rousoku ), and one of the few shops in all of Japan where this craft is still preserved.

Using only 100% plant-based ingredients—such as hagi wax and rice bran—each candle is handcrafted by skilled artisans. The colors come from traditional Japanese painting pigments, and the scents come from natural essential oils, ensuring a product that is safe for both health and the environment.

In addition, the used wax is reused and the company actively participates in the reforestation of the hagi tree, thus contributing to the protection of the natural environment and the preservation of Japanese culture.
