Ikebana Equipment
 Hasami
(clippers or scissors) are used to cut flowers and stems to their
desired lengths. Although the way stems are cut depends on the type of
plant and arrangement, most cuts are made at an angle. This makes them
easier to secure in the vase and kenzan and makes the area for drawing
water larger.

secure stems at three points. (Left photo)
