In the general style of ikebana, a kenzan (needle-point holder) is placed in the vase with water, flowering plants and branches of trees are secured on it, and the length and shapes are adjusted with scissors. This item has two pieces that connect to one another as an extension. This Kenzan is cased in paper box. Shaven Kanji letters are likely the name of a previous owner.
