Your container should be a a low shallow compote or low footed container (about 4"- 8" in diameter). The Ohara Princess container is great. A western-style footed candy dish can be used too.
The kenzan should fit in the container. It can be round (2" in diameter or larger) or rectangular (about 2.5" x 3" works well).
Please contact Joe Rotella (614.537.7077 or by email) if you have questions.
Radial Form (Hiraku-katachi) expresses the radiating beauty of an arrangement where the Subject (Shu-shi) and Secondary (Fuku-shi) extend to the left and right from the center of the container.
