The secret to elegant floral arrangements lets you ditch the green foam.

In ikebana, the art of traditional Japanese floral arrangement, kenzan often play a crucial role. You may know this handy device as a “pin frog.” They make it easy to create architectural arrangements, securely holding the pierced stems in place. With the help of kenzan, you’re no longer limited to tall, cylindrical vases. Maybe a Coupe is your next floral arrangement vessel?

Samuel K. ★★★★★

The brass pins hold stems securely without crushing them, and the base is heavy enough that even a top-heavy sunflower didn't tip over. My arrangements finally look like they were done by someone with training, not just a hobbyist with scissors.

Steven Y. ★★★★★

I was tired of using disposable foam for my weekly bouquets, so I tried this metal base with those sharp brass pins. It held my stems firmly in place and the whole arrangement stayed steady even when I moved the vase to the windowsill.

Harper X. ★★★★★

The brass pins are substantial and grip stems firmly, making it easy to create that angled ikebana look I've always admired. My hydrangea arrangement stayed perfectly in place for over a week without any wilting at the base.
