How to Make an Ikebana Arrangement Without a Kenzan?

What happens when you make a structure out of paper, and skip the kenzan entirely? In this video, I'll show you my technique for creating a sculptural Ikebana arrangement using paper, straight sticks, and Lisianthus (Eustoma) flowers in a suiban (low vase). This is not just about arranging flower, it's engineering and construction process. I'll walk you through the process of building a free-standing paper frame that defies gravity. I will how you how to layer paper circles for a natural, organic look, and how to thread delicate flowers through tiny holes without losing balance. You'll learn: How to create a stable frame without a kenzan How to work with unconventional materials like soft paper Tips for choosing the right flowers (hint: light and thin works best!)
