HANAKATSU Weighted Kenzan for Ikebana

A weighted Japanese flower holder for positioning stems in ikebana and other arrangements. Brass pins hold the plant material while the lead base provides weight and a soft elastomer underside helps reduce slipping against the vessel.

Choose the size according to the vessel and the weight and height of the material you plan to arrange. Larger, heavier bases generally provide more support for larger arrangements, while the Small size takes up less room in compact vessels.

Materials

  • Pins: brass
  • Base: lead
  • Underside: soft elastomer anti-slip base

Sizes

  • Small: Ø61 × H22 mm, 250 g
  • Large: Ø80 × H21 mm, 490 g
  • Extra Large: Ø90 × H25 mm, 620 g

How to use

Place the kenzan carefully in a suitable vessel, add water, and press the prepared stem straight down onto the pins before adjusting its angle. The pins are sharp, so handle the kenzan carefully and do not drop or drag the weighted base across a delicate vessel.

After arranging, rinse away plant material and allow the kenzan to dry before storage.

Questions about this tool

What size kenzan should I choose?
Choose the size according to the vessel and the scale of the arrangement. A larger or heavier kenzan gives more stability for larger compositions, while smaller formats suit compact vessels and lighter arrangements.
How do I use a kenzan?
Place the kenzan securely on a suitable flat area of the vessel, add water so the cut stems can reach it, trim the stems cleanly and press them onto the pins with control. Start upright, then adjust the angle once the stem is held. Larger or heavier plant material needs enough kenzan weight and base area to remain stable.
Is a kenzan the same as a flower frog?
A kenzan is one type of flower frog: a Japanese pin holder used to secure stems and control their angle. The English term flower frog is broader and can also describe other devices used to hold flower stems in position.
Can a kenzan scratch a vase?
A kenzan has sharp pins and a firm base, so handle it carefully in delicate vessels. If the vessel surface is sensitive, use an appropriate protective layer beneath the kenzan and place it gently.
How do I clean and store a kenzan?
Rinse away plant material after use, handle the pins carefully and allow the kenzan to dry before storage. For suction models, also check that the suction cup is clean and secure before the next arrangement.
