40 mm (1.57") Diameter Kenzan Floral Pin Frogs Flower Floral Arrangers Stainless Steel Pins for Japanese Ikebana Vases or Stands

You have the Choice of FIVE different size packages of 40MM (1.57") Kenzan Floral Pin Frogs Dry Flower Holders for Japanese Ikebana Arrangements

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.

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 40mm ( 1.57") Diameter Kenzan . These Kenzan have a lead zinc base and have Stainless Steel Pins. These are a medium sized kenzan being 1.57" in diameter but are good for larger arrangements as they are heavier and can be grouped..

These Kenzan can be cemented 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).

At present I am only selling these by the full case but if enough interest is exhibited by requests for smaller quantities I will offer them in the future.
