Flower Frog - Michikusa Kenzan

Kenzan, literally translating as ‘sword mountain’, is a stand used for creating flower arrangements by fixing the flower stems on spikes. The modern design of this transparent glass kenzan allows the flowers to take centre stage, rather than the stand. It was born from the idea of picking tiny wild flowers growing on the side of the road that could be taken home and used for ikebana-style flower arrangements, bringing life and colour to the room. Its name michikusa also relates to this idea with ‘michi‘ meaning road or path and ‘kusa‘ translating as grass.

Kantō

The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
