Hanamori Ikebana Vase Flower Frog & Bowl

A flower frog is a tool traditionally used in Ikebana to support and position floral stems.
In the Hanamori Ikebana vase, the frog takes on a more sculptural role.
Instead of sharp spikes like a kenzan, this ceramic flower frog features carefully carved holes that cradle each stem with balance and grace.
Paired with its matching ceramic bowl, it creates a complete Ikebana vase set, ideal for arranging dried flowers or seasonal blooms.
More than just functional, Hanamori brings the elegance of a ceramic Ikebana vase into your home as a piece of calm, intentional design.

While a traditional kenzan (剣山) uses metal spikes to hold flowers in fixed, upright positions, Hanamori offers a gentler, more sculptural approach.
This ceramic Ikebana vase replaces the rigid structure of the kenzan with a rounded flower frog ceramic piece featuring carved holes that support each stem naturally, without piercing.
Paired with its matching bowl, Hanamori forms a complete and modern Ikebana vase set that brings the spirit of Ikebana into contemporary interiors.
It’s not just a functional tool, but a quiet evolution of tradition, crafted in clay, shaped with care.

What sets Hanamori apart is its quiet depth.
Unlike typical floral tools or mass-produced vases, Hanamori is a handcrafted ceramic Ikebana vase composed of two sculptural elements: a spherical flower frog and a matching pottery bowl. Each part is made in small batches using traditional techniques and local clay, giving every set a personal character.
More than a simple Ikebana vase, Hanamori invites a slower rhythm into your space, a balance of form and feeling that reflects the essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
