Japanese "suiban" (水盤) refers to a shallow, flat container or tray specifically designed for arranging and displaying ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. The shallow nature of the suiban allows for the arrangement of flowers, branches, and other natural elements in a way that emphasizes harmony, balance, and simplicity. Suiban is an essential element in ikebana, contributing to the overall aesthetic and balance of the floral composition.
