Leaves broadly-elliptic, apex shortly acuminate, flat, deep green with glabrous petioles. Flower widely cup-shaped, 10-12 cm across, white with a rare red tick; petals broad, rounded at apex, reflexing upwards; stamens in a compact, simple tube. Flowers early to late. “Kamo-honnami” refers to Honnami, Kōetsu, the name of a famous sword connoisseur and tea virtuoso, 1558-­1637. Synonymous with Mado-no-tsuki of Chūbu.
