L'atelier AKARI 灯

 

AKARI is a candle shop that specializes in traditional Japanese candles and lamps.

 

Hidden in a quaint alley in Kagurazaka, Atelier Akari offers traditional candles (warōsoku)from all over Japan.

 

Made from the nuts of the gobi tree, these hand-crafted botanical candles are great for adding atmosphere to a meal—or just become entranced by the swaying of the flame.
