This cultivar is a non-registered sport of H. 'Tsugaru Komachi' from Kenji Watanabe of Japan. A small sized plant, this hosta has gold colored foliage with a green marginal variegation. It bears purple flowers from July into August.

Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled, A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term nakafu as medio-variegated and the term komachi as a beauty or a belle.
