Flower Frog Holder

Kohchosai Kosuga

• Introduction

  I am a Flower Frog Holder. I’m not the kind of frog that hops. I’m the kind that holds flowers in a vase to prevent them from going flop.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  I had no idea what a “frog” was in the world of flowers until a friend who practices Ikebana, the Japanese art of floral arranging, enlightened me. Frogs are small disks that sit at the bottom of a vase to help hold flowers in place. Most frogs are pretty unappealing with spiky pins, strategically hidden with flowers and leaves. When I found these frogs I liked the idea that they were pretty enough to sit in a transparent glass vase without needing to be covered. This idea alone enabled me to discover a whole new method of flower arranging. They can transform any regular vessel laying around the house into a functional vase in an instant - the best part!
