Your cart is empty.Kenzan or Japanese flower frogs, are used for keeping flowers in place in an arrangement. The base of a kenzan is very heavy, preventing any movement when submersed in water or when used to arrange a large amount of flowers or branches. The sharp, stainless steel needles attached to the base are very sturdy, helping to keep the flowers and branches securely in place. Traditionally, kenzan are made of gold-colored brass needles, which can often distract from the flower arrangment due to their brightness and shininess, especially when used in dark colored vases. This black kenzan solves the problem by concealing itself thanks to its dark color, leaving the natural beauty of the arrangement to take the spotlight.

Solid, heavy, high-quality. Perfect for arrangements that are asymmetrical. Once submerged, invisible.

Kotobuki kenzans are the best because they come with a rubber mat that holds them in place inside the containers. This large rectangular kenzan is heavy duty enough to hold large and thick branches and stalks in place without toppling over. If you have large containers that can handle long stalks, I'd recommend getting this kenzan.

I am a new student of Ikebana and have used one other kenzan, which I borrowed from another student. The Kotobuki has longer, stronger teeth and is heavier so my stems stayed where I placed them. Be aware of the black color. It may distract from the arrangement if it is laid in a light-colored dish.

This Kenzan is ideal for anyone serious about Ikebana. Because it is painted black & is encased in rubber, it stays put, enabling you to stake & place your flowers & branches without the Kenzan sliding around; it does not distract from your arrangement. I'm getting another!
