This Ohara-style vase is a must if you're practicing moribana using a kenzan. The word moribana means "piled up flowers." In an arrangement, it typically features one or more clusters meant to echo the relationship between water and flora in the natural world. Moribana requires a vase with a broad expanse and organic shapes and blooms. The vase is named after the Ohara School of Ikebana which gave birth to the moribana style.

Extra-wide Ohara-style vase with glossy, royal-blue interior.

In traditional suiban (low basin) form, this vase offers a rich, royal-blue interior redolent of a deep, still pond. Spanning a whopping 20", it's perfect for a substantial arrangement regardless of school or style affiliation. Although a hallmark of the Ohara school, moribana has become a standard form studied by ikebana practitioners worldwide. This is a go-to vessel for learning the basics or veering off-piste.
