Japanese Maple Classification:
Matsumurae Group
Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):
5 to 9
白波, means "White Waves", but more precisely "Whitecaps", the breaking foam at the top of waves. Thus it is a single compound word and should not be hyphenated (as Nakajima had it). Some version of this maple remains in the trade, but it is unclear that it reflects the 1704 cultivar. The name is sometimes given as meaning "Light Wave", but that seems incorrect, as that kanji would be 光波 (ED)
Date of Origin if known:
