Brass-Tip Wick Trimmer

Designed specifically for traditional Japanese candles, this wick trimmer addresses the unique structure of a warosokuwick. As the thick plant-fibre wick burns, it gradually forms charcoal at the tip. Gently trimming the remaining length helps maintain a bright, steady flame and preserves the candle’s clarity of light.

The tool pairs elegant brass tips with a smoothly crafted wooden handle. A discreet brass weight embedded at the end shifts the centre of gravity so the tips naturally angle upward when resting on a table, preventing ash or charcoal from marking surfaces. Thoughtful in both function and form, it supports the ritual of candle care with quiet precision.
