Flower Frog – Kenzan

A Simple, Precise Tool for Modern & Traditional Flower Arranging

A weighted flower frog (kenzan) that keeps stems stable, balanced, and naturally spaced — without floral foam.

The Kenzan, also known as a flower frog, is a quiet but powerful tool used in Japanese ikebana and contemporary floral design. It allows stems to be placed exactly where you want them, creating arrangements that feel balanced, intentional, and naturally flowing.

Crafted from a solid metal base with fine brass pins, the Kenzan holds flowers securely while still allowing them to draw water directly from the vase. This creates cleaner designs, longer-lasting blooms, and a more sustainable alternative to floral foam.

Key Features

• Solid metal base: Provides weight and stability for both light and heavy stems.
• Precision brass pins: Allows exact placement and natural spacing of each stem.
• Direct water access: Flowers draw water straight from the vase for better hydration and longevity.
• Reusable & eco-friendly: A long-lasting alternative to single-use floral foam.
• Easy to clean: Simply rinse after use and allow to dry.

Size & Finish

Each Kenzan features a weighted metal base with brass pins. Size and finish may vary slightly depending on stock, but all are selected for strength, balance, and durability.
