“Japan’s First Upcycled Candle Brand”
KOSelig JAPAN is a sustainable candle brand based on the concept of “kind to mind, body, and earth”.
KOSelig JAPAN collects discarded sake and wine bottles mainly from our candle stores and candle cafes directly managed by KOSelig JAPAN in Japan, as well as from local companies and local communities.
KOSelig JAPAN manufactures and sells “Japan’s first upcycled candles” in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan, in which collected bottles are originally processed and used.
We rediscovered their value and reuse them as glass containers for candles by the hands of our special craftsmen.
【Our Products】
“Kind to Mind, Body, and Earth"
1) kind to mind
In addition to the relaxing effect of the fragrance, there is also “1/f fluctuation” effect caused by the flickering of the fire.
KOSelig JAPAN’s exclusive candle artists carefully select fragrances not only from Japan but also from around the world, and use scents specially developed for candles.
2) kind to body
All the wax inside is made from 100% natural soy wax.
Because it is 100% natural soy wax, it is safe and secure. It does not easily produce soot even when used for long periods of time.
3) Earth-friendly
Glass containers for candles are upcycled by collecting discarded bottles and processing them by hand.
Upcycling is the process of upgrading discarded items into new products by adding new value in the form of designs and ideas.
In addition, the lids are made of recycled cork, utilizing discarded cork.
Furthermore, KOSelig JAPAN is committed to reducing the use of disposable plastics. For production and packaging materials, we choose recyclable materials as much as possible, and only as much as we need.
【Scent】
“Japanese Cherry Blossom"
Japanese Cherry Blossom by KOSelig JAPAN is a Floral fragrance for women and men. This fragrance is extracted from cherry blossoms in Japan. This scent can be described as “oriental, sensual and assertive with enough character to stand out next to the pungent aroma of blooming pears and the sugary sweetness of apple flowers.”
The blooming of the Cherry Blossom symbolises human mortality to many Japanese people; just like the flower, it is beautiful and brilliant during its strongest bloom but withers when the time comes, reflecting its fragility. There’s a Buddhist notion of “mono no aware” which has a loose meaning of bringing awareness to the impermanence of things which leads to the heightening awareness of their beauty — such notion is directed to the fragile sakura blooms. This reminds us of how short and precious life is.
