How to choose small candles and candlesticks | Small lights that are easy to use for daily memorial services | Candlesticks that don't require cleaning

Tokai wax mini candles and special candlesticks

For daily prayers,
A combination that lights beautifully until the end.

I want to join hands with you wholeheartedly, even if it's only for a short time. Since it's something you use every day, you want to consider ease of use and cleanup afterward. For such people, we would like to introduce small candles and special candlesticks.

At Tokai Seiwa, we design candles and candlesticks together, and aim to ensure that the corresponding combination burns stably to the end. In this article, we will explain how it works and how to choose between ``Moe'', ``Yasuragi'', and ``Urban''.

Do you have any questions like this?

  • I want to choose candles that are suitable for a short visit.
  • I'm concerned about cleaning up the wax that hardens and remains on the candlestick.
  • I'm looking for a candlestick that fits a small Buddhist altar or memorial service space.
  • I don't know which candle and candlestick to pair with.

When choosing mini candles, it is important to consider not only the burning time but also the compatibility with the candlestick. Choose a combination that suits the time and place you want to use it.

Reasons for combining it with a special candlestick

Tokai Seiwa's special candlestick is designed with attention to the compatibility of the candle hole and needle, the way heat is transmitted, and the movement of melted wax. We not only support the shape, but also consider how the combustion will end.

Can be firmly inserted

The needle is designed to fit into the hole of the corresponding candle. By firmly entering the roots, it is designed to prevent wobbling when used.

Less wax remains

As combustion progresses, the remaining wax melts and becomes liquid, which is sucked up by the wick and burned. In combination with the corresponding candle, we aim to burn every last drop.

Consideration for daily cleanup

By reducing unburned wax, the burden of cleaning after use is reduced. Allow the product to cool down completely before cleaning it, then follow the instructions for each product.

How it burns with "Moe"

See how the candle burns in the special candlestick. We will introduce the features of the combination of candles and candlesticks with photos.

An example of burning the candlestick "Moe". When using, please check the compatible candle and how to use it.

If the fire is extinguished during the process or depending on the usage environment, wax may remain. Not all candle/candelabra combinations will burn the same way.

Even if wax gets on it, it is easy to clean and can be removed with hot water.

Even if wax gets on the candlestick, if it can be cleaned with hot water, it can be soaked in hot water of about 80℃ to dissolve the wax and make it easier to remove. Please check the product instruction manual before forcibly removing it.

Do not pour hot water containing wax directly down the drain.The wax may cool and harden in the drain pipe, causing a blockage. Let it cool down sufficiently to avoid getting burned, then collect any floating or solidified wax with a tissue to prevent it from getting mixed in with the drainage water.

First, let's compare the presence or absence of glass containers and their shapes. The photo is an example of a set that includes each candlestick. Please also check the dimensions on the product page to make sure it fits where you will actually place it.
