The tools he brought back to his tree farm in Dorset, England, became the foundation of Niwaki’s floral line. These kenzan flower frogs are still made in Japan from brass pins set into a heavy lead base, and they hold woody branches and soft green stems with equal grip. Place one at the bottom of a dish or vase, press stems onto the pins at whatever angle you like, and add water.

For thicker woody branches, score a small cross into the base of the stem first. The weight of the base keeps the kenzan steady in water, so stems stay exactly where you set them. Top up the water daily, and your cuts will last as long as they would in any vase—longer, often, because the pins open the stem end for better water uptake. Between uses, clean the pins with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works) and store them flat. Brass won’t rust or spoil the water.
