How Tree Berries Are Crafted into Red Christmas Candles in Japan

Why a Single Christmas Candle Takes Hours of Hand-Painting by Japanese Artisans ▶Product in This Video: https://suigenkyo.store/collections/japanese-candle ▶Craftsman Profile Hono Nishikawa / Nakamura Rosoku Since 2017, I have been a Japanese candle painter at a long-established company in Kyoto Prefecture that has been in business for 125 years. I decided to join the company because I was fascinated by the drawing pictures on a small campus through my work experience. We create candles of not only simple colors such as white and red, but also hand-draw designs of each four seasons one by one. ▶History of Japanese candle It is said that Japanese candles originated from beeswax candles made from beehives introduced from China during the Nara Period (710-794). The supply of beeswax candles ceased after the abolition of the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty in the Heian period (794-1185), and Japanese candles made from lacquer and other materials began to be produced in the Muromachi period (1336-1573). Japanese candles were most widely used in 1800s and were considered a luxury item affordable by wealthy merchants and samurai families at the time. ▶Hand Cream This is highly recommend item! When I saw the hands of Japanese candle craftsmen who usually have a lot of opportunities to touch candles, I found that their hands were very beautiful and shiny!!! When I asked them about it, they said that candles are good for the skin and make it naturally beautiful.This hand cream is made from the raw material of Japanese candles, wax tree wax. Why don't you use this hand cream to get a skin shine like a Japanese candle craftsman? https://suigenkyo.store/products/%E3%83%8F%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0?_pos=1&_psq=hand+cream&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!! ▶Contact: [email protected] © 2026 Suigenkyo Ltd.
