This is a Japanese Kenzan 剣山 Straightening Tool, designed to maintain and extend the life of your kenzan.
It features two functional ends:
One end with a fine, sturdy point is used to separate and realign bent kenzan pins, keeping them upright and sharp for precise arrangements.
The opposite end is shaped to clean and pick out debris lodged between the pins, such as plant material or dirt.
Crafted in a compact and practical form, this tool measures 15cm in length, making it easy to handle and store alongside other Ikebana implements.
It is an essential maintenance tool for Ikebana practitioners who wish to preserve the quality and longevity of their kenzan.
