THE MAKING(English Version)(264)The Making of Candles

[@brennanperry8001]

It's 5 am, and I am watching candle making videos. The quarantine of 2020 can really change a man.

[@maxmuller8947]

The "western" method is for candles of lowest quality. My father makes his candels himself with wax from his own bees. This is the material german's only had used before parafin was introduesed. With good material for wicks (non syntetic), you can have very good "western" candels, too.

[@girlnamedblake4885]

Thank you! Thought this as well. Loved the knowledge about Japanese candles but wish they had shown something other than lowest common denominator western candles

[@ApiaryManager]

This isn't really a fair comparison. The "western" candles are mass-produced, low quality alternatives to the traditional beeswax candle. Having said that, beeswax candles were usually reserved for church use since they burn slowly with a delicate yellow light and don't produce any smoke. This made them more expensive so most people would have had a "taper" made from rushes dipped in tallow.

[@aggese]

​@@ApiaryManagerwhat made and still makes them more expensive is the work needed to get bees wax, but sure the churches demanding huge amounts of candles dident help

[@ApiaryManager]

@@aggese I was referring to churches in medeival Europe. I'm not sure if the church requires pure beeswax candles anymore. I agree that beeswax is a "scarce resource" and requires a lot of manual effort to process .

[@virvewirllos]

​@@ApiaryManager I like to use candles to light up my room at night instead of lamps, and I always buy the ones made from bee's wax precisely because they burn slowly + their light it's very pleasant, and to me they aren't at all that expensive. If you get them locally you can get a big one for 3-4€ and they last around 50-60 hours. They also generally smell better if you like them scented. I think how long they last offsets the cost if you aren't buying them as a one time decoration.

[@Nighthawke70]

If you got the coin. I checked Amazon and they want for ONE size 10 (167mmX23mm) 6.6" candle, 29USD. Ouch. They had better be savored and used only for those Special occasions.

pretty sure the biggest consumer of candles in the world is Greece. lighting a candle in churches is a must. they have these very thin long brown ones. millions of them

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Well this informative video just became a new ASMR video for me! No one is talking except the credits and I can just relax and watch them make candles AND learn something new! ^^

[@levinyman8790]

To be fair I much more think this is traditional Japanese candle making versus modern candle making. There are certainly handmade "western" candle. Either way I love to see the processes!

[@nicoles8152]

The Japanese candle making is amazing. A truly handmade candle. I really appreciate the beauty and hard work. Thank you

Why they flexxing like that on our western candles?

[@maritzaelizabethchamorrogu6354]

pagsran hechas con cera de abejas, y desde la explotación masiva del petróleo se usa la parafina, y duran poco

[@ainzooalgown9952]

because they can't hold a candle to those made in Japan by folding over a thousand times

[@angelawilson1633]

@Oslo Cloonson, Flexxing lol 💪🏿 Lol

[@cloudiwolker8134]

Yes and why are they "Western Candles"? I am pretty sure there is just as much paraffin candles everywhere else. Ever ate chese coated with wax? 90% of those are coatied in paraffin. They should compare their candles with bees wax, wonder which burns longer and which wax just on its own is better

[@karyu0in0japan]

@Hitado Dota This video isn't meant to show tradition, it's a kind of factory tour for kids. So there is no idea in this video that they want to bash the West.

[@sqike001ton]

I don't know how fair this is this is modern western and classic japanese I think they show have shown traditional both ways

[@maritzaelizabethchamorrogu6354]

a inicios de la era Meiji el emperador decició para El y su pueblo que el progreso que occidente le ofrecía estaba bien pero que no por eso deberían perder su identidad en nombre del progreso, es así que evitaron el colonialismo primero Ingles y luego Estadounidense en el Imperio del Japón.

[@erin9868]

It would be more interesting to see comparable methods contrasted - this gives the impression that Japanese candles are all handmade and western candles are all mass produced.

[@PukingPanda]

The ASMR of this video is phenomenal

[@caitlinjolin150]

I just wanted to note that western candles can also be made of bee's wax :)

[@tjlarson9859]

If some other material (parafin) IS used, you might say it's "none of your beeswax!" ;-)

[@ГаврилоПринцип-и7ф]

Also from sheep tallow.

[@khricket]

or soy.

[@marthachampagne316]

i remember hearing about candles using bayberry wax. you boil bayberries to get the thin wax coating from the berries. they are supposed to be expensive and burn cleanly with a nice scent. i remember the wax being a pale green color.

[@emilyrobinson6080]

@@marthachampagne316 Bayberry candles used to be very popular but because of the manufacturing costs not so much these days. There is, however, an old superstition of burning a bayberry candle on new years, and a saying: "A bayberry candle burnt to the socket brings food to the larder and gold to the pocket"

[@blackberrybunny]

The Japanese are so amazing, and they do everything so wonderfully!!

[@804hum]

i like the japanese candles more....they are made with natural resources...they look beautiful...so much hard work.

[@johnc7532]

Actually its all filmed in Japan. There’s a few times that show a box with Japanese text and a Japanese newspaper. Japan also produces quite a bit still, but most of their products are sold domestically.

[@athenawilson4019]

China is west of Japan. Duh. There's a very, very famous story titled "Journey to the West". It's about...you guessed it (or not)...a journey to China by the Monkey King. Which is the basis for the Dragonball anime series, BTW.

[@athenawilson4019]

At the time "Journey to the West" was written, the Japanese didn't know about the Americas. Besides...American is EAST of Japan! Across the Pacific Ocean. Look at a map.

[@tigersun5950]

@@athenawilson4019 I can't tell if you are being serious. Journey to the West was written in China during the 16th century and it was about a Chinese monk traveled to India to study and acquire Buddhist literature and he was accompanied by the Monkey King.

Western handmade candles are traditionally made with beeswax or tallow... but japanese candles beautiful...😍

[@pcp284]

LOVE the handmade- non toxic traditional Japanese candles. Funny to think companies that just pour wax into moulds label their products as "hand poured" making it sound like it is bespoke haha. If Cire Trudon in France made Japanese candles like this way they would probably charge $500 for just one stick lol.

[@jenniferjones-paull1548]

AMAZING, totally love the Japanese candles for sure. I will go and search where to purchase some for family and friends. Thank you so much for videos.

Even their candles taper the opposite way xD So lovely though, gorgeous.

[@alicevon-schott7872]

the Japanese are good at a lot of things but holy shit did they overcomplicate candle making.

[@patalinghugjosephmarkkent6082]

Uhm, tradition? Common sense. Duh

[@Thosapat]

small brain will think like this

[@MRSketch09]

WELL I didn't think it was that bad, right up until the whole "Lets roll the candle by hand" bit.. like that's where I'd just had molds set up personally so I could have did my initial thing with the candles then let the wax in a mold harden on its own time.

[@Saohesc]

There are advantages.

[@carlosandleon]

@@douganderson7002 that's a simplified viewpoint but not necessarily wrong. I mean I'd rather eat beeswax than paraffin. Paraffin is what we use for our candles and it comes from oil. So yeah the natural route is better kn this case

[@berthayellowfinch5471]

Thank you for posting this video. It's really nice and informative.

[@jesssheteron902]

Well maybe some western candles I do not use anything but natural soy wax it is safe and cleans up with soap and hot water! The Japanese candles are art and beautiful! I love them and low soot like soy wax, and I only use wooden wicks of cherry and maple mix crackling when burning.

They totally forgot the hand making part of western candles...🤔

[@BoopSnoot]

Or Western candles made by, you know, Westerners. Western candles can also be made quite beautiful with elaborate colors, shapes, layers, and designs cut into them, which you really can't do with a Japanese candle. Search for "hand-carved candles" and be impressed on what true beauty is.

[@Widestone001]

@@BoopSnoot I remember back 30 years ago, when I was a freshly minted teenager I would go pull candles for Christmas. They would have 2 pots of paraffin I think, maybe 3 of different colors) and 1 of bee's wax in the cellar of my town's kindergarten and we'd be there hand-making those candles. *sigh* time goes by and things change. :-)

The Japanese candles are made mostly for Buddhist temples in Kyoto. The equivalent Western candle would be hand dipped, bees wax Cathedral candles, not factory paraffin candles. Cathedral candles burn brighter than Warosoku but blow out easier. They are made more efficiently, however.

[@bwanabwana9523]

Any candle can be made dripless by a simple dip or brush coating of shellac. it burns cleaner and more complete with minimal residue.
