In any case, here's the Korean Neo association's profile on Kurokongo:
흑휘(黑輝) 흑금강(黑金剛)
It says:
"Bean leaf Amami fuuran seedling mutation. While the shape is similar to Tamakongo, it is slightly smaller, and produces a lot of anthocyanin pigmentation, to the extent of turning black if grown in high light. This variety goes by the name Kokki as well as Kurokongo. Flowers face upwards. Leaves are wide and deep green, with narrow spacing between leaves. Mud stem, mud root, tsuke is a mix of straight and wavy." |
Oh nice! Thanks for the link. I did see NWO shows the tsuke as wave and the pictures of their plant has a lot of anthocyanin pigmentation, very dark. I like it!
It is a huge help having you here to educate those of us in need, lol. It may seem reckless to purchase plants when you are unable to find available information but when buying from Satomi I’m pretty confident. I did email her asking for info on the Tenjin.
When looking through her email list there is no time for asking questions. I should have asked after I ordered it. It would be helpful if the list included a bit of information. Thanks again! Much appreciated.

Thank you! I certainly am happy with it. Honestly, I’ve not been unhappy with any purchases from Satomi.
