No screens. No timers. Just the quiet rhythm of flame.
Brass "Shokudai" candle holder specifically for the mindfulness candles. The brass is shaped by hand by a craftsman in Niigata prefecture, and the candle stand sits atop a stone plate made of Oya-Ishii, a volcanic rock that has been used in Japan since ancient times for buildings and other materials. The dish is curved so that any wax that melts down will collect at the bottom of the dish and be burned completely as the candle burns out.
Each piece is made by hand, and no two are exactly alike.
Brass
The brass will age and discolor with time and use, giving it a wabi-sabi aspect that we appreciate.
The needle can be unscrewed, and the two dishes separated for thorough cleaning if desired.
