Ikebana Lesson | Tips And Tricks On Using The Kenzan

Today, Ikebana Master Rijo will show you some tips on using the "kenzan".
What should I do when the stems are too thin?
What should I do when the branch is too thick to stick in the "kenzan"?
The stems fall over because they're too soft!
I will help you solve these problems.
I will also show you how to take care of your "kenzan" at the end of the video.
Check out my other Japanese Ikebana videos! ↓

Yes! Please have a try!!! Arigato✨

[@siminyang5209]

I can understand that some people stay conservative with artificial tools like Kenzan. But my opinion is similar to Sensei when a tool is so useful, why not give the tool an opportunity. Komi has its own uniqueness when used. Using a Kenzen doesn't mean totally giving up using traditional ways such as Komi.

Wonderful tips. Thanks for teaching us about inserting the materials. Do you clean your kenzan with soap and water after it has been used and left with materials for a week? Or vinegar and water? How do you clean it for the next time?

[@ikebana.master]

Very beautiful. The lightness, the elegance, the softness. Congratulations. Pity it is not translated into Portuguese. How is the name of this piece to correct and clean the quenzan?

[@ikebana.master]

Thank you so much for your comment, Mr. Borges. The piece to correct and clean the kenzan is named KENZAN NAOSHI in japanese.

[@pipmitchell7059]

If you don't have the naoshi, you can use a bamboo skewer for removing plant material stuck in the kenzan, and a ballpoint pen with the ink tube removed to straighten the pins. (Tips given to me by Panda Gifts, Hilo, Hawai'i).

Shoving things into the pins on your CPU will very likely irreparably damage it.
