Transform your cut flowers into elegant, sculptural displays. Kenzan are used in Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, also known as kadō or "the way of flowers". Ikebana is distinct from Western floral arrangements through its emphasis on minimalism, the use of empty space, and its philosophical and meditative aspects rooted in Zen Buddhism. A Kenzan meaning “sword mountain” can be also be called a Pinwheel, Stay Put or Spiky Pin Frog. It is a heavy metal base with nail like vertical pins on which flowers and natural materials are arranged; a reusable alternative to floral foam. These Kenzan are very stable and can accommodate tall arrangements, both freestanding and in vases or containers to allow for water absorption. The spikes naturally open the stems of the flowers, allowing them to absorb more water and therefore last longer.
