The Japanese Art of Ikebana became a favorite pastime for me several years ago and as a woodworker I enjoyed making Ikebana Vases and /or Ikebana Stands. Being fortunate enough to live in Hawaii I have been surrounded by beautiful wood and between the two loves I started making these Ikebana Vases.
You get your choice between One and Twelve packs of 34mm ( 1.34") Diameter Kenzan Pin Frogs
Kenzan or Floral Pin Frogs used to be found all over peoples homes in Hawaii when I was growing up but today cost of the metals has driven people in the floral trade to go to Floral putty for most flower arrangements. Today there is a great interest in Japanese Ikebana and with that interest has come the need once again for the Kenzan or Floral Pin Frogs. I am offering several different sizes here in case quantities for those who might be interested.
This sale is for 34mm or 1.34" Diameter Kenzan . These Kenzan have a lead zinc base and have Stainless Steel Pins. These are a smaller-medium sized kenzan being 1.34" in diameter but are good for larger arrangements as they are heavier and can be grouped. This Kenzan weighs 68 grams (2.39 oz.) each vs. 46 grams (1.62 oz.) for the 32mm Kenzan (next smaller size). It also stands about 5/8" tall from base bottom to top of the Pins.
These Kenzan can be secured in flower arrangement containers with the use of a little silicone adhesive. Another major use of these Pin Frogs is in the pottery trade where flower arranging cups and containers are now being made to hold water and flowers. ( See my other Sales).
