Yokoyama & Kirino, 1989, Nihon no Chinka, p.70. Originated in Japan. This cultivar is an old variety from the vicinity of Nonoichi-chō of Ishikawa Prefecture and the flower was named for the district as associated with the flower trade. Large trees were cultivated by the Kaneko Ikebana shops of Hashiba-chō, of Kanazawa City and today, from the Nono-ichi to the Tsurugi area, there are many camellias of the same kind. This variety is quite distinct fron the single white Nono’ichi-jiro.
