Care for your warosoku wick with this tool that doubles as both a wick trimmer and a candle snuffer.
When the wick has burnt down, trim it to about 1 - 2 cm while the flame is still alight. This method, which was also used for Western candles until the mid-19th Century, keeps the flame burning efficiently.
To extinguish the flame, pinch the wick tightly with the tool until it goes out.
