These candles have a long and distinguished history, and were among items presented to the Tokugawa government by the daimyo (feudal lords) when they traveled to Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Hand-painted, detailed, brightly colored patterns are popular. Learn how to paint these traditional patterns in the Togashi Candle Shop with gentle guidance, and you will be able to make your own picture candle in around an hour.
