In fact, their flames are so resilient that a candle snuffer is necessary for putting them out. While the wicks of their typical western counterparts are made of cotton, which generates smoke and soot, warosoku’s wicks are made from the stalks of the common rush with washi paper twisted around them, and generate almost no smoke at all. They burn brightly and cleanly, creating a pleasant atmosphere wherever used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eOmori Warosoku\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Omori family has been making warosoku for six generations in Uchiko, a charming, historic town nestled amongst deep forests at the heart of Ehime Prefecture. During the 1800’s, Uchiko was a major producer of warosoku used around Japan. Though many workshops have disappeared with the introduction of mass produced candles, warosoku remain an important part of Japanese culture. Today, Ehime’s warosoku tradition is carried on by 6th-generation craftsman Taro Omori and his son, Ryotaro, at Omori Warosoku, the last remaining traditional Japanese candle shop in Ehime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section\" id=\"shopify-section-template--15971574579375__text-and-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"index-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width feature-row-wrapper feature-row--50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-aos=\"\" class=\"feature-row__item feature-row__text feature-row__text--right text-left aos-init\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subheading appear-delay\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaring for the flame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte appear-delay-1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaring for your warosoku’s flame is easy, and can be done with the use of a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eshin-kiri,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor wick trimmer.
