Of Hexagons and Tortoises
These fun, tiny candles are handmade from natural rice wax. Because they're virtually free of contaminants, the candles burn for 60 minutes with almost no smoke or drippage. Unlike typical candles that are made from hydrocarbons (or fossil fuels), these are environmentally friendly and perfect for indoor use.
Use it for your daily meditation, as a timer, or simply to relax.
The packaging and shape of the candle is inspired by hexagons, which are naturally occuring in the shell of the tortoise. Since ancient times the hexagon has been a revered symbol of good fortune and longevity because of its balance, harmony and stability.

About DAIYO
Founded in 1914, Daiyo is a 4th generation family business of candlemakers who are based in Shiga prefecture, Japan. There are 2 types of fires, says the company: Hinoe and Hinoto. Hinoe, the elder brother fire, and Hinoto, the younger brother fire, live without hierarchy but in a Yin-Yang relationship. The elder brother fire is like the flame of a burning sun. It is wild and must be handled with care. The younger brother fire is much smaller, and can be handled with our hands. Fire has been with mankind for longer than history and have offered comfort in many shapes and forms.
"To light a candle is to share the stories in our lives and to establish new relationships." - DAIYO
