Murasaki-Shikibu Japanese Beautyberry

The Callicarpa japonica 'Murasaki-Shikibu' is one of the most visually striking bonsai specimens available — celebrated for its clusters of vivid, jewel-like purple berries that emerge in autumn and persist well into winter. A plant that commands attention in any collection.

Murasaki-Shikibu (紫式部) – a court lady in purple

This cultivar is named after Murasaki Shikibu, a renowned Japanese author of the Heian period who wrote The Tale of Genji — one of the world’s earliest novels and an enduring epic of love and court life. Translated as “a court lady in purple,” the name pays tribute to the plant’s richly coloured berries, which echo the deep purples of Heian imperial dress. Owning this plant is, in a small way, a nod to over a thousand years of Japanese culture and artistry.

Why Choose Murasaki-Shikibu?

  • Spectacular berry display: Dense clusters of vivid purple berries make this one of the most eye-catching autumn and winter bonsai
  • Aged character: At 25 years old, these specimens arrive with established trunk width and natural bonsai form
  • Authentic Japanese import: Sourced directly from Japan for true cultivar quality and character
  • Standard growth rate: Regular berry size and reliable seasonal performance
  • Easy to grow: Adaptable and forgiving — suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike

Great socks / a bit expensive
Size: Large, Color: Black
These may be the Goldilocks of the socks I've tried. They have nearly the same quality as the MUCH pricier Darn Tough Vertex Ultralight Cushion Cool Max socks (also reviewed). They have better quality, and a higher price, than a similar pair of PUMA socks (also reviewed). Pros: Very well made, with no loose stitching, comfortable forefoot and heel cushioning, good ventilation via top mesh, good arch compression, minimal logos and mostly solid color. Cons: Price is a bit on the high side, but better than the Darn Tough socks. I could honestly have made a good case for any of these three (ASICS, PUMA, or Darn Tough), which explains their collective high ratings. I did the top 3 reviews first. When I get a chance, I'll go back and review the average and terrible :) If money is no object, get the Darn Tough Vertex. If you're price sensitive, and willing to compromise a bit on quality, go with the PUMAs, which is what I did. Otherwise, these ASICS are near the same quality as the Darn Tough, but less expensive. Tough decisions :)

They fit perfectly
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
My favorite socks, the fit is great, they are comfortable and they are long enough so it covers my ankles, therefore, they don't rub against my inner shoe.

Great buy.
Size: Medium, Color: Black
These socks have a cool fresh feel to them. I bought new running shoes, Hoka Bondi 9, and they feel great paired up with them. Similar socks in the store were $49. I tried several others brands like Sauchony and 2 other lesser known brands but there was something indescribably different. I purchased another pack immediately.

Comfort
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I have been wearing ASICS socks since forever! As a distance runner, I have worn many others from different companies, and I always come back! Also, i am not a fan of the invisible kind, and ASCIS seems to be the only ones to make the socks that are above the shoe, are durable, comfortable, I have no desire to look elsewhere. Thanks ASICS!
