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.

I soon found that I could not find the water holding container that I needed to fit my wood art pieces and also take care of the flower arrangements. I then went through the process of developing several types of "Water Holding Kenzan " that would best fit my work. The Kenzan I have for sale here are one of the types of Kenzan that I came up with. After many years of showing my Ikebana Stands in various shows in Hawaii people began to ask for my kenzan so they could make their own flower holding arrangements. So here is one of the easiest to use kenzan that I sell.

Each individual cup is made of Aluminum and has a three inch lip around a two inch wide cup that is about one and a quarter inch deep. Each cup has a pin frog ( Kenzan) attached to the bottom of the cup made out of Stainless Steel Pins set in a lead zinc base. The cup is painted a flat black color which is sort of a traditional Ikebana color. I also have these same Kenzan in an Antique Copper Color that is shown in another listing..

Without a doubt these are the best Water Holding kenzan you can find on the market.

Woodworkers use these by creating a wooden Ikebana vase (like the last picture) and drill a two inch hole that will hold the lip of the kenzan.

Pottery people use my Kenzan as they are water proof and don't leak so they don't have to seal there clay art work to be waterproof.
