Japanese people have used Japanese candles (Wa-rousoku in Japanese) since 7th century. Main material is Haze tree (R.succedanea). This plant, known as Japan Wax Tree today, grows in East Asia only. I mean, Japanese candles are made of 100% vesitable wax.
On the other hand, Western candles had been made from animal tallow (for example, pigs and whales). Western candles were introduced to Japan in the Middle Ages. But Buddhist (mainly monks and temples) had denied them. Because Buddhism teachings ban the taking of lives. Nowadays Japanese are using paraffin wax western style candles.
These candles can't be made at outside of Japan! Why?
Japan Wax Tree grows in East Asia. So, this plant grows in China as well as Japan.
But analysis of ingredient showed that it contained 6% Japan Acid in Japanese tree. Chinese tree isn't contain this acid.
I mean, it never be "Chinese Japanese-candles". Japanese candles are 100% made in Japan. It can't be made in other countries.

3. Powerful but soft lights

Who is KUKAI?
Kukai, also known posthumously as Kobo-Daishi (774 - 835), was a Japanese monk, scholar, poet, and artist, founder of the Shingon or "True Word" school of Buddhism.
In 7th and 8th century, Japanese knew Buddhism fragmentary. So, Imperial house decided to send some monks to Tang dynasty to study Buddhism perfectly. Kukai was one of them.
As he was excellent student, he was appointed as successor of Shingon Buddhism from Chinese monk, Hui-kuo. Therefore, orthodox Shingon sect moved to Japan.
After returning to Japan, he propagated perfect Buddhism, he contributed to Japanese Buddhism

What's AJIKAN?
AJIKAN is traditional Buddhism meditation. It's also known as Ajikan Yoga in outside of Japan.
This meditation is very easy, and you can do anywhere.
It's watched with keen interest again as mind healing means under stress society in Japan.
The Sanskrit letter (called AJI) stands for Dainichi-Nyorai who is supreme Buddha and symbol of truth of universe.
[Briefing of Ajikan]
The first of all, you sit and make hand sign called "Hohkaijoh-in" like a right picture.
Next, you take a deep breath three times, and gaze at AJI lightly.
Last, close your eyes, and you copy AJI to your mind.
Monks who belong to esoteric Buddhism are usually doing this.
This item is portable sized Aji.
You can bring it to anywhere. You can also decorate it in your room.
For your relaxation or meditation...
Maybe you think that it's a little expensive.
I explain the reason.
The reason one:
It's used URUSHI.
Urushi is Japanese traditional lacquer.
Craftsmen take Urushiol (lacquer) from Japanese sumac tree, and they lacquer from tableware to Buddhism temples.
Lacquerware is representative Japanese traditional item.
The best place of Urushi is Noto area (Wajima) at Ishikawa pref. in Japan.
The reason two:
It's used Kinpaku (Gold leaf). IT'S K24 (pure gold).
Kinpaku is gold leaf. Gold leaf is gold that is beaten into extremely thin sheets.
Kinpaku is used to various traditional items and buildings.
The best palce of Kinpaku is Kanazawa area at Ishikawa pref. in Japan.

- Modern beautiful (Buddhism) Deva!!

- Who is she?
What do you think?
She is Kissho-ten (Sri-mahadevi).
She was arranged to modern beautiful Deva!!
The image of beautiful woman used to have changed depending on times or culture.
Generally, traditionally images of the goddess are beautiful woman of Nara and Heian period (7 - 12th century).
The images of old times are quite different from contemporary images of beautiful woman.
So, this Kissho-ten was arranged by promising young girl artist, Ranzan Sho.
She is famous illustrator who is good at painting Deva.
She revises Deva to modern looks like a anime or manga with her imagination from traditional looks. But her pictures never profane the Buddhism
Actually, her works can be seen at some temples.

TENUGUI is often introduced to tools as hand towel, but actually TENUGUI is not only hand towel but is tools that have various uses. For example, wrap things, roll own head up when they take part in festival...
It is TENUGUI that not to sew up an edge tightly, but it would not become loose if you would wash it well.
It's desperate measure by persecuted Japanese Christians
From Toyotomi regime to Tokugawa shogunate (1590 - 1874), believing Christianity was prohibited. Old Japanese Christian is called "Kirishitan". Due to the regulations, Japanese Christian had camouflaged to believe.
Though it's Fudoh Myo-Oh of Buddhism image and the Sanskrit outwardly, this Sanskrit has no meaning. In fact, it was letting 'J' of Jesus be Sanskrit-like and it was blended to Fudoh.
This item is Tokyotrad's Original Item!!
It's O.K. that you think as one of old art design. This item is not related with religious activities.
You can arrange it to tapestry or into frame. Of course, you can use this as Tenugui (hand towel).
This picture is original Hanging Scroll (made of Japanese paper) in Edo period. I have sold some antique Hidden Chistian's Fudoh at eBay. Sometimes, I can get this antique. Because I have the official license of antique dealer of Japan #441370000506.
If you want antique one, please let me know.This picture (right) is Eikoku-ji temple at Nagoya. You can see many Kirishitan's item at Kirishitan Museum in this temple.
Those area before Buddhism temple was execution ground to execute Kirishitan mainly (Because believing Christianity was prohibited from 1590 to 1874). Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the lord of those area, made decision to abolish execution ground, and he ordered to establish Eikoku-ji to hold a service for the victim's soul.

The fan symbolizes friendship, respect and good wishes. It is a gift that is given to people on special occasions, and it is also an important stage prop for the Japanese dance performances.
Traditional perfume is soaked into this fan. So when you fan, it gives beautiful scent.
This design is HannyaShingyo. It's the most popular Buddhism sutra.
This sutra is expressing essence of Buddhism with around 300 letters. It is near philosophy, it is not spell.
The main theme is
(Shiki-Soku-Ze-Kuu, Kuu-Soku-Ze-Shiki).
Heart Sutra says:
"You don't have 'yourself'. Actual existences are composed of a series of perceptions for example body, sense, imagination, association and thinking. All factors aren't yours, and also doesn't belong to you. But 'yourself' does not exist without these factors. That's why you aren't here eventually. In addition, these factors are also an illusion, unsubstantial one. By this wisdom, we can get out all sufferings and misfortunes."
