Japanese Forms and Scents Appreciated in France

"The shape of Japan" embodies a simple charm and refined elegance. "firefirefire" was created to evoke this uniquely Japanese sense of comfort that brings peace to the mind.

These candles are crafted using molds that were actually used in the production of vessels at the Kamiji Chōemon Kiln, a renowned Kutani ware pottery. They are available in five forms, such as small bowls, sake flasks, and teacups, each reflecting shapes nurtured in daily life.

Available in three colors: "Shunoki" (light wood), "Usukurenai" (pale crimson), and "Seiji" (celadon). Each color offers a distinct fragrance: "Shunoki" carries the familiar scent of cypress, "Usukurenai" the elegant sweetness of lotus, and "Seiji" the refreshing aroma of bamboo.
