Established in 1914, Daiyo is a traditional Japanese candle maker from Shiga prefecture in Japan. Since then, the family-run business has been passed from generation to generation, as has their devotion and specialization in producing genuine Japanese candles with quality and beauty. All Daiyo candles are hand-crafted by artisans using traditional techniques and entirely vegetable-derived materials. Ha-ze candles are made with tree seed wax and others are made with rice bran wax.
