In the Edo period (1603-1868 AD), the cultivation of haze (wax trees), a raw material used in WA-ROUSOKU, flourished in Kyushu and Shikoku, and these candles came into wide use by the masses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eBlessed with a good natural harbor, Nanao thrived as a port of call for cargo ships that sailed the Japan Sea during this era.  These ships brought the wax used in WA-ROUSOKU from Kyushu, and WASHI (Japanese paper) used in the wick from Iwami (Shimane Prefecture).  After being manufactured in Nanao, WA-ROUSOKU were transported by the cargo ships once again, to areas across Japan.  A candle making cooperative, ROUSOKU-ZA, was established in Nanao, and it continued into the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912 AD).  Today, TAKAZAWA Candle is continuing this tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n  \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2333\/7143\/collections\/takazawa-candle.jpg?v=1666320249","url":"https:\/\/www.shackpalace.com\/en-nz\/collections\/takazawa-candle.oembed","provider":"Shack Palace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
