A stainless steel pin frog (1.35”) is set into the 2” opening, so the vase arrives ready to hold stems the moment it’s unboxed. The stone’s natural weight keeps everything steady on a table, shelf, or windowsill without any additional support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Pin Frog Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in pin frog holds individual stems upright at whatever angle you place them. Cut a stem at a diagonal and press it onto the pins. Thicker branches may need a small cross-cut scored into the base to grip. Because the pins do the work, you can arrange with just one or two stems and still have them stay exactly where you want them. Fill the opening with water for fresh cuts, or use the frog dry with \u003ca title=\"Dried Botanicals\" href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/dried-botanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edried botanicals\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca title=\"Faux Floral and Blooms\" href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/faux-floral-and-blooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eEcoFaux stems\u003c\/a\u003e.

Where Western arrangements tend to fill a vase, ikebana treats each cut individually. A single branch in a low vessel can be a complete composition. This vase is shaped for that kind of restraint. The narrow opening and compact size encourage you to work with fewer stems and consider each placement. You don’t need formal training to start. A few seasonal cuttings from the yard, a flowering branch, or a handful of dried grasses are enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Pair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mini \u003ca title=\"Niwaki Kenzan Flower Frogs\" href=\"\/en-ca\/products\/niwaki-kenzan-flower-frogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNiwaki Kenzan Flower Frogs\u003c\/a\u003e (24 mm) fit inside this vase as an alternative pin holder when you want denser arrangements.
