HAKUDO offers you a quiet moment to unwind in everyday life. It keeps the space around you purified through 11 botanical essences that work in synergy: Hiba wood, Oakmoss, Amyris, Copaiba, Vetiver, Elemi, Yuzu, Green Oregano, Palmarosa, Ajowan and Cypress.
The scent of HAKUDO is inspired by the invisible layers of the mountain ground, earthy & green - velvety moss, soils that are rich in organic materials, and by roots which distribute their lives deep underground. Its scent profile offers a dark and rich impression, dry & moist temperaments and a hint of smokiness in the background.
Based on a philosophy derived from KOHDO, the Japanese ceremony of appreciating a subtle & exquisite fragrance, ‘listening’ to the scent allows your senses to be infused and to experience it with your entire being. It invites you to take a deep breath, to prepare yourself for the day, and to feel a sense of tranquility in the evening.
THE HAKUDO CANDLE HASAMI PORCELAIN EDITION is created with a manganese saturated oil spot glaze. The temperature of the kiln decides the characteristic of irregular metallic shades and patterns of the surface, which gives each cup a very unique texture and personality. Its presence resonates with deep & smoky qualities of the HAKUDO essence and together they create a clear and tranquil mood.
The YUNOMI cup with matching lid has been traditionally used in Japan to welcome guests and express gratitude when serving tea. This distinctive metallic glazed porcelain tea cups are fired within the natural beauty of the mountains in the town of Hasami in Nagasaki prefecture, well known for their artisans who have been manufacturing ceramics for over four centuries.
Each Candle is presented in a Paulownia wooden box, tailor-made and individually assembled by the hands of a master craftsman from Ishikawa, Japan. The precious wood of Paulownia imperialis has been traditionally used to store acclaimed art objects and antiquities.
When the wax is completely melted, the yunomi cup can serve its traditional purpose for tea again or can be used to store precious objects. Simply take off the base of the wick and gently clean the cup.
