The joys of life | A day with Japanese candles

 
I can't wait for autumn these days.
 I'm feeling quite tired this summer.
 It's important to get a good night's sleep in order to keep your body in balance.

 At dusk, light a candle.
 Gazing at the flames is a quiet moment that resets your mind.



 The flickering of a candle flame is said to be a "1/f fluctuation."
 It is present in our everyday lives.

 The sound of rustling trees, sunlight filtering through the trees, a gentle breeze, ripples, the rippling of water
 The flames of a bonfire, the murmuring of a river, the chirping of birds, the sound of rain, the swaying of a train...

 A nice mix of regular and irregular rhythms
 When I look at and listen to them,
 It is said to have a calming effect.

 …Come to think of it, I was once on a local train in the early afternoon.
 The green tunnel seen from the train window is so pleasant
 I fell asleep.
 The swaying felt really good.



 Living with Japanese candles.
 When you open the box, you'll find a selection of small, natural-colored Japanese candles inside; they're so cute.
 These Japanese candles are made from plant-based materials and are eco-friendly as they have no smoke smell.
 One of the fun parts is deciding which color to choose today.

 When you light it, it makes a crackling sound which is really nice.
 At first, you are surrounded by a soft light from a small flame.

 The base of the flame is blue and beautiful.
 Apparently blue flames are hotter than red flames.

 The flame gradually grows larger and brighter.
 A flame that stretches out and expands greatly.

 Sometimes, quietly, crackle, sizzle, sizzle...
 It reminds me of a bonfire and the sounds of nature are soothing.

 Stretching or expanding
 The flame of a Japanese candle is like a living thing.

 It's a quick but relaxing time.
 I think I'll sleep well.

 It's fine to just stare at the flames.
 You can also burn some aroma to add your favorite scent.
 I found a joy in everyday life.
