Home – 4 inch Ikebana Flower pot – Blank

When practicing ikebana, the vase is essential to your flower arrangement. It can help enhance your ikebana arrangement so that it is appreciated. The result ought to be carefully selected flowers and thoughtfully arranged in a complementary container placed in the space you’ve chosen.

Selecting your ikebana vase should be part of a carefully considered process, as it can affect the outcome of your ikebana arrangement.

Before I begin working on my arrangement, I usually consider the location or space where I will place it and how it will be viewed.

For example, a smaller arrangement will suit a smaller space. Conversely, somewhere spacious will require a larger arrangement.

In another instance, if the arrangement is placed on the dining table, I know it will be low enough to allow for conversations across the table. Therefore, I will choose a small container instead of a tall vase.

Next, the length of my flower stems or plant materials also influences the container size I will use. The tallest or longest stem is usually at least 1.5 to 2 times the sum of the height and width of the vase. For beginners, this factor helps to keep the right proportions of the floral materials in the vase or container.

In Ikebana, it’s also important to consider the container’s color. For instance, you may want to think about whether you’d like the container to blend in with the color of your fresh materials or if you prefer to use a vase with a color to create contrast with your flowers.

In addition, the shape of the container can be used to inspire your floral design ideas. In some ikebana arrangements, the fresh materials are arranged in such a way as to mimic or replicate the form or shape of the container.

Another factor to consider is the type of vase or the material it is made of. For instance, glass vases are great when you want to show more transparency in your arrangement.

Using water’s magnifying or refraction effects by placing materials underwater can sometimes result in a striking modern ikebana arrangement.

Our low ikebana vases are designed for the moribana style vase for low arrangements. A Kenyan or flower frog is like a metal pin cushion that holds your flowers in place.
