Do lead-free kenzans exist?
Hi,
I'm new to reddit and have a question. I hope it is okay to ask it here.
I'm interested in getting started with ikebana and I'm looking for a lead-free kenzan. It seems their foot is always made of or does contain lead and I really don't want that anywhere near me. But I can't find a more harmless alternative, except flimsy looking acryl ones. I've also noticed, that some online shops are not very transparent, labelling them as metal or alloy, which is not helpful.
If you know where to get lead-free ones, could you let me know? Have you experience with acryl kenzan or alternatives - how well do they work?
In case you're wondering why I'm so concerned about it, I suggest reading the article 'lead poisoning' on the WHO homepage.
