If you love flowers (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), you’ve probably struggled at some point to make your arrangements look like the ones you see in glossy magazines or Pinterest boards. That’s where the magic of a kenzan comes in - and this time, it’s had a seriously sleek makeover.
Traditionally, a kenzan (also called a “flower frog”) is a heavy base with metal pins that hold flower stems in place, helping you build stunning ikebana-inspired designs. But now, Hanataba has introduced a fresh take: the Acrylic Kenzan Ring.
Why it’s special:
It’s crystal-clear. Unlike the usual metal versions, the acrylic design practically disappears into your vase or bowl. The result? Your flowers take center stage, floating beautifully without any distraction.
The ring shape opens up endless creative possibilities. Instead of just a flat surface, you get a circular frame with a hollow center, giving your designs an airy, spacious look. It's perfect for soft-stemmed blooms and everyday cut flowers. Think tulips, ranunculus, anemones, and dahlias - all held gracefully in place.
How to use it:
- Place the ring in a shallow bowl, dish, or wide vase.
- Trim your stems and gently press them into the pins.
- Play with heights, angles, and that gorgeous open center. Add some greenery or grasses for movement.
- Step back and admire your mini-masterpiece!
- After use, give it a quick rinse, use a small brush to clean between the pins, and let it air-dry upside down. Easy peasy.
