Kameyama Botanical Candle Kit
DIY candle-making set
Making stuff with your hands is still very admired in Japan, not just at the level of professional artisans but also amateur hobbyists. There are hundreds of shops in Tokyo selling supplies and tools that allow you to create anything at home, even things that don't look or feel Japanese at all like lace, Native American-style jewelry, and dried flower candles. Like the ones you can make with the Kameyama Botanical Candle Kit, a set put together by Osaka's Kameyama, which has been in the candle business for almost a century!
The Kameyama Botanical Candle Kit contains all the materials you need to create pure wax candles decorated with dried flower. The only thing it doesn't include are the actual flowers! Using simple home tools like a small pan and your kitchen stove, you can melt the provided 200 g (7 oz) of Paraffin Wax 58, a high-grade wax used by top candle-makers, over the flowers and around the white Royal Round 50 mm (2") candle that also comes with the set. When the wax sets, you can have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind flower candle!
