向山谷錦, Kōyamadani-nishiki means "Brocade of Kōyamadani". It is a clear place-name, meaning "Facing the Mountain Valley." The 'd' in dani is a rendaku, conconant modification, tor 't', thus tani=valley. (ED) [MrMaple, as Koyamadani nishiki, calls it the "Snowflake Maple", but this appears only to be a marketing term.]
Kôyamandari nishiki is a small palmatum with interesting foliage. Leaves are leathery, wider at leaf lobe tip than at center. Not much is known about this variety, but it probably will be a larger bush form. Fall color is yellow. (DSN, as Koamandari nishiki)
