Description
Ikebana is the Japanese art of floral arrangement. More than decoration, it seeks to express harmony and balance through emptiness, asymmetry, and the observation of nature.
A piece ready to be gifted — or self-gifted — to begin the ritual of composing with flowers, branches, and silence. Sumi 墨 means ink — a piece that embodies the elegance of traditional Japanese black ink.
This kit includes a stoneware ceramic bowl and a copper kenzan (flower frog), the traditional base used to hold the stems in place. Stoneware is a highly durable material, fired at high temperatures to achieve great strength and solidity. Each bowl is glazed on the inside to ensure it is watertight and prevent leaks. The pieces are handcrafted on a potter’s wheel, so subtle variations may occur, making each one unique.
The kenzan has a heavy lead base coated with rubber, which keeps the floral arrangement stable and prevents slipping. It features a large number of pins (around 200), making the design process easier. Since they are made of copper, they do not rust and can remain submerged in water for extended periods.
* The bowl has a diameter of 20 cm, and the kenzan measures 6 cm.
* Plants and flowers are not included, they are for illustrative purposes only.
