Used for ikebana flower displays, Niwaki's Kenzan Long is becoming increasingly popular for western style flower arranging, doing away with that old-skool dark green foam completely. The brass pins are strong enough for woody material, as well as soft green and grass stems.

You can put the Kenzan in a shallow bowl — we love to match it up with Hasami Porcelain — or in a vase, buy your favorite flower, or the one that blooms right now, cut and compose. 

Find inspiration in books like Modern Ikebana, or head off-piste and do your own thing. The spiky base holds woody and green stalks, in any position you want. Make criss-cross cuts into the bottom of larger twigs, to stick them in easier. Lower into water in saucers or dishes, and top up daily.

At Misc-store Amsterdam we also carry the Kenzan Straightener, to straighten any bent pins.

Niwaki x Misc Store Amsterdam

Niwaki brings the very best in Japanese design and craftsmanship, inspiring gardeners and craftsmen to do the stuff they love, even better. They source and manufacture an extraordinary range of fine garden and woodworking tools, kitchen knives and outdoor gear.

Niwaki means garden tree. Not very exciting, but it implies far more than that. Japanese gardens are landscapes, microcosms of nature, and the trees are all shaped to fit into those landscapes — there’s an awful lot of artistry and cultural baggage in there too. Jake’s written a book on it all, if you’re interested. So, the name. Hard to pronounce (ni-whacky) and tricky to remember, but we like it because of its implications.

Almost everything in Niwaki's range is stuff they use themselves. Jake’s — founder of Niwaki — first day of pine pruning in Osaka, he was given a pair of garden scissors, still sharp as anything, more than a decade later. Brother-in-law Haruyasu bought Jake his first pair of Japanese shears, and he’s rarely used anything else since. His wife Keiko uses her garden scissors in the house, for cutting flowers (she never cleans them, they go rusty, and Jake has to revive them, but they’re still working.) Grandpa reaches for his trusty pruning saw when he wanders off to reap havoc in the woodland… It’s all good stuff, and their proud of it.
