Every year on January 15, Sweden celebrates “Tulpanens dag” (Tulip Day), a beloved tradition that brings color, hope, and joy into the darkest time of the year. Tulips have become a true symbol of Swedish winter optimism, and the day is all about enjoying them to the fullest.
To celebrate, we’re offering 25% off our two most loved flower arranging tools - for a limited time only!
For a limited time, enjoy 25% off:
Acrylic Kenzan
A modern, transparent kenzan that lets your flowers take center stage. Our acrylic kenzan is perfect for soft stemmed flowers like tulips, ranunculus and anemones. This kenzan becomes almost invisible when under water.
Kenzan Ring, 120 mm
If you love creating natural compositions, using branches for example, this is the tool you need! It’s strong and sturdy enough to hold those beautiful crooked branches we all love. It's also a great option if you often use roses in your arrangements.
Our tools are designed to support simple, well-balanced arrangements for any setting, from home interiors to workspaces and gifts.
Why tulips + kenzan are a perfect match
Tulips are lively and expressive, but they can also be a little unruly. A kenzan gives you control without taking away their natural movement, allowing you to:
- Place each stem exactly where you want it
- Enjoy a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to floral foam
- Create longer-lasting arrangements
- It’s a simple way to elevate your tulips into something truly special!
At Hanataba, we love Tulip day because it’s a reminder of how powerful flowers can be - simple, beautiful, and deeply uplifting. But this day is about more than flowers - it’s about welcoming light, creativity, and small moments of joy into everyday life.
Do you need a vase to pair with your kenzan? Check out our selection of vases and trays here.
