FYI - "Ikebana" is the study of Japanese flower arranging. "Ichiban" means number one or superior, in Japanese. The frogs you refer to are called "Kenzan".
I don't mean to sound officious, but thought you might like to know.

Thanks!

If you shop for the containers with built-in frogs, you'll find a lot of variation in what they are called (Ikebana, Ichiban Iki ban, etc.).

I didn't know the name for the frogs... I like it! :-)

(Information is always good! No need to worry about sounding officious.)
