Kameyama Dango Dumpling Candle (Set of 2)
Traditional Japanese sweet-shaped decorative candle
Sitting under the cherry blossoms and admiring the flowers is a well-known Japanese pastime. But what is a lesser-known Japanese pastime is eating and drinking under the cherry blossoms, hence the expression "hana yori dango" (dango are better than flowers). Dango are dumplings made of rice flour and usually served on a skewer. For cherry blossom viewing, you can get a special three-color version, which is the same type recreated here as the Kameyama Dango Dumpling Candle (Set of 2)!
Each of the two skewers in the Kameyama Dango Dumpling Candle (Set of 2) has three dango: one is pink, symbolizing the cherry blossom; the other is white, symbolizing the tree's flowers; and the other is green, symbolizes the leaves after the flowers have fallen. All three dango and the skewers are made of paraffin wax that releases a sweet fragrance, plus have a wick in the middle. They are so beautifully presented on their small plate, it might even be a shame to burn them!
