Supporting 'EARTH HOUR' Global Action: 'Candle Jazz Night' Held at Aloft Tokyo Ginza by Saburoku Candle

Luciel Trinity Co., Ltd. (Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture), which handles candle production, space design, and event planning, held 'Candle Jazz Night' on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The event was a collaboration project for its candle brand 'Saburoku Candle' and took place at Aloft Tokyo Ginza, a next-generation lifestyle hotel under Marriott International.

### Event Overview This event was organized in alignment with 'EARTH HOUR (*1),' a global environmental action. At the 'W XYZ Bar' inside Aloft Tokyo Ginza, lights were dimmed from 6:00 PM, and approximately 100 candles were lit. A live jazz performance started at 9:00 PM.

Around 120 visitors attended, enjoying a special atmosphere different from the usual urban bar scene. Enveloped in the gentle flicker of flames and soothing melodies, the space felt warm and cozy, reminiscent of sitting around a bonfire in the heart of the city.

(*1) EARTH HOUR: One of the world's largest environmental actions organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature). Every year on the last Saturday of March, people around the world show their commitment to preventing global warming and preserving biodiversity by turning off lights at the same local time.

### Background: A Regional Promotion Event in Yamanashi This project was realized through 'Aloft Tokyo Ginza Marche de YAMANASHI,' a regional promotion event organized by Yamanashi Chuo Bank (Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture). Through this event, Saburoku Candle and Aloft Tokyo Ginza connected, leading to this collaboration for Earth Hour.

### Saburoku Candle Saburoku Candle is a brand inspired by Japanese woodworking culture. Its name is derived from 'Sanjaku Rokushaku (Saburoku),' the standard dimensions of architectural materials. Based on the concept of 'Wood, Fire, and People,' it proposes spaces illuminated by light. The Saburoku size has a burning time of about 60 hours, allowing it to stay lit for approximately three days. These interior candles are handmade by craftsmen using domestic solid wood, making them beautiful both when lit and when unlit. In times of disaster, they serve as reliable emergency lighting. Their design fits anywhere and can be placed permanently in daily life, balancing visual appeal with practicality to create 'blank space' and order in living environments.

### Profile: Yoshitaka Yanagi, Representative of Saburoku Candle Originally from Tokyo, Yanagi now lives in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi, with his family. Under the theme of 'organizing space and sensitivity,' he creates candles, designs spaces, and plans events. Based at the foot of Mount Fuji, he collaborates with hotels and brands domestically and internationally, valuing natural materials and Japanese aesthetics.

### Comments on the Event and Future Developments 'Saburoku Candle is a light that connects people's "En" (bonds) through fire. Since ancient times, people have naturally gathered around fire, leading to conversations and new encounters. I am very happy that the hotel bar in Ginza was wrapped in the light of about 100 candles, creating a time for people to connect. We will continue to expand candle nights to various locations such as hotels and restaurants, striving to create places where people meet and bonds are born through the light of fire.'

Saburoku Candle plans to continue expanding space design and candle night projects using candles at hotels, restaurants, commercial facilities, and events globally. The next event is scheduled for Monday, May 4, at 'THE FLOW CAFÉ' in Yamanakako Village, Yamanashi Prefecture.
