Yup!
I also have a Tamakongo mutation with the same variegation named Yongcheonmun:
Mine is still very small but
here's a bigger one to see its characteristics better.
And if you overlay this type of variegation on top of standard
fukurin, you get a type of double variegation called
sanko-nakafu. One of my favorite varieties has this kind of double variegation, Kotonoyuki:
And an interesting thing about this characteristic is that varieties that have it will usually have a corresponding flower mutation where the petals are widened in a spade-like shape that someone I know described as looking like gecko feet:
If you look at the link above with the bigger Yongcheonmun, you'll see how that flower mutation looks on a beanie type flower.

I've been told this characteristic does best in medium-low light, but I have not experimented enough with these kinds of varieties to really be sure.
