Chouchin
Chouchin Candle is a pillar candle that gradually takes the form of a traditional Japanese Chouchin lantern as the wax melts inside. When first lit, the candle looks ordinary, but over time only the inner wax melts and the appearance slowly changes. Two types of wax are used. The outer wax has a higher melting point, so the outer shell keeps its shape and holds the melted wax inside, with no need for a dish. The resulting light is soft and gentle, intended to help people relax at home in the hours before sleep. A refill allows repeated use.
