Suiban". This particular container is designed so that Kenzan can be easily placed in the center of container.

Suiban. Kenzan is a frog pin (needlepoint holder) that holds flowers in a container. In this sense Kenzan has a role of floral foam (commonly known as "Oasis) used for European floral arrangement.
