Treasures

Auspicious design that lights up wishes.

"Takara Tsukushi" is a collection of auspicious patterns that have been passed down since ancient times in Japan. Each piece is individually painted with auspicious designs that have been loved since ancient times, such as the "magic mallet" that grants wishes, the "scroll" that symbolizes wisdom, and the "money bag" that symbolizes wealth.

The strong yet warm glow produced by Japanese candles, made from plant-derived ingredients, will vividly illuminate your treasures. This set, imbued with the warmth of handcrafted craftsmanship and auspicious meaning, is also perfect as a "light charm" to wish happiness to a loved one.

Recommended occasions for gifts:
Celebrating store openings and longevity

Hand-painted, illuminating tradition.
The beauty of "presentation" loved by the shogun

E-Warosoku (candles decorated with painting) were once presented to shoguns and aristocrats, and were only available to a select few. We bring this dazzling and elegant tradition to modern life as a living art.

The production is carried out by Kyoto's highly skilled craftsmen.
A traditional craftsman who creates shapes using only the sense of touch of his fingertips , and a skilled painter who breathes life into a small canvas, a single candle .
The designs, born from the fusion of artisanal handiwork, are all unique, and just looking at them fills the space with a vibrant and refreshing atmosphere.

Ewa candles were originally created to decorate Buddhist altars and spaces during the winter when there are few flowers.
When lit, the image appears fantastically illuminated by the flickering flames.

Why not add the supreme "color" beloved by the Shogun to a gift for a loved one or to a quiet moment of self-discipline?

Please note that the candlestick is not included.

Lighting up tradition and illuminating the times.

Japanese candle craftsman, Tagawa Koichi.
We continue to carry on the tradition of applying layers of wax to each piece using the skilled ``hand-made method.''

The flames created by Tagawa flicker quietly, as if breathing from a hollow core, and simply gazing at them brings a deep sense of peace.
What is put into the products is the hope that traditional crafts will become a part of everyday life and that they will serve as a catalyst for creating rich ``space.''
The warmth and powerful light derived from plants can never be expressed with chemical products.
What Tagawa's handiwork delivers is not just light, but "quiet time" that will help us welcome a prosperous tomorrow.
