Shibori-karako

Synonym：

Nishiki-mino  (Straw Raincoat Brocade), Nippon Engei Kaisha Ltd., Catalogue, 1904, p.9: Medium sized, peony form of pale pink with deep pink markings. In 1935-1936, Chūgai Nursery Catalogue p.25, listed ‘Nishiki-mino’ as ‘White with crimson variegations, full double at centre’. McIlhenny imported this to America and catalogued it with the same description in 1937. According to Satomi, 1956 Gondo-shibori and Ezo-nishiki are synonyms but this is rejected as they are both separate and distinct cultivars. Kanaoka Camellia Gardens Catalogue, 1963, listed the variety without description and Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan pl.388, p.197 described and illustrated it. This cultivar produces many different colour types, and Tuyama’s colour pl.388 is different from the colour photo in Encyclopedia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, p.163 as Shibori-karako, but they are the same variety. It was originally listed in Kasuya, Kamegorō, 1859, Tsubaki Irohanayose Irotsuki as Shibori-karako and it is known by this name in Kansai area and as ‘Shibori-bokuhan’ in the Chūbu area. For further comments see Tuyama, 1966, Camellia Cultivars of Japan, p.370.
