Sakura Kome Candle
MON AROME CHERI candle
Wax derived from rice bran gives a by-product of rice milling a new role in the home.
A compact vessel with a familiar Japanese silhouette, made to enjoy between moments of candlelight.
Each candle arrives in a presentation box decorated with a traditional Japanese kimono pattern.
Soft floral sweetness gives the Sakura Kome Candle the feeling of spring. Made in Japan by MON AROME CHERI candle, its cherry-blossom-inspired fragrance is paired with rice wax in a compact, bamboo-inspired vessel.
Sakura is the floral expression of the O-kome collection: gentle, sweet and evocative of petals in the air. Light it for an evening at home, or give it to someone who loves the seasonal beauty of Japan.
The vessel’s bamboo-inspired form brings a restrained decorative detail to a side table or shelf between uses. A presentation box decorated with a traditional Japanese kimono pattern makes it a thoughtful gift, with the pleasure of the object beginning before it is lit.
The wax is derived from rice bran, a by-product of rice milling. This use of an everyday Japanese material is at the heart of the O-kome Candle collection, which received a Gold Award in the 2025 Omotenashi Selection.
