More About Flower Frogs

What is Ikebana and how does it differ from Western floral arrangements?

Ikebana is the classical Japanese art of flower arrangement, focused on line, space, and creating a balanced harmony between nature and the vessel. Unlike Western floral arrangements that prioritize volume and blooms, Ikebana uses fewer dried flower stems and emphasizes the Japanese vase itself. The ikebana vase allows the beauty of negative space to be celebrated, giving a minimal, sculptural feel to the composition.

What is a flower frog (or pin frog) and how is it used?

The flower frog (known as kenzan) is the foundational, indispensable tool for Ikebana art form. Some flower frogs made with metal, called pin frogs, often housed in an Japanese ikebana vase, its sharp needles that securely anchor dried stems at precise angles. Some other styles flower frogs built with holes, which also securely hold the stems. This stable base allows the designer to create dynamic, complex designs that would be impossible in a traditional vase. Brelora offers quality flower frogs UK wide to assist your unique arrangements.
