Antique Japanese Ikebana Flower Arranging Kenzan Flower Frog 4.5

Vintage Japanese Kenzan (剣山) – Ripple Motif 4.5"

A vintage Japanese kenzan (剣山) for the art of ikebana (生け花) flower arranging, cast in solid iron with an elegant ripple-in-water (suimon 水紋) inspired design. The elongated body and repeating circular openings evoke the serene concentric waves formed when water is gently disturbed.

Dimensions: 4.5" L × 2" W × 1" H • Weight: 1 lbs 2 oz

This heavy, stable kenzan provides excellent support for stems while adding a subtle symbolic reference to flowing water and tranquility—ideals at the heart of ikebana practice. The surface shows a naturally aged patina and light oxidation consistent with antique iron.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with surface wear and oxidation appropriate to age and use.
