Explore This Amazing WorkChouchin Candle
Chouchin Candle is a pillar candle that gradually turns into a Japanese traditional Chouchin lantern as the wax melts inside. When the candle is first lit, it looks like a normal candle, but as time passes, only the inside wax melts and gradually changes its appearance. Different types of wax are used for inside and outside, and the outer wax does not melt even though the candle is all made of wax, allowing it to create a soft and gentle light.
