Kenzan

Kenzan is a Japanese arranging tool used for flower and plant arranging. It is made of metal and has many small metal spines that hold the flowers in place while arranging. Kenzan is used as an alternative to oasis, which is a florist's block that is also used to hold flowers in place while arranging. Kenzan differs in that it does not dry out and can be used over and over again. This arrangement tool is used especially in the Japanese Ikebana art of flower arranging, where it is important to maintain a balance between the flowers and plants in the arrangement.
