The Nishiki gawa Japanese Maple is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that typically grows up to 10-15 feet tall. It has an upright, vase-shaped form with delicate, lacy foliage. The leaves are deeply lobed and have a variegated pattern of green, white, and pink.

The foliage of the Nishiki gawa Japanese Maple is its most distinctive feature. The leaves emerge in spring with a mix of green, white, and pink colors. As the season progresses, the white and pink areas turn to a creamy white or light green, while the green areas deepen in color. In the fall, the leaves may develop shades of yellow, orange, or red before dropping.

Due to its unique variegated foliage, the Nishiki gawa Japanese Maple is often used as a focal point in gardens and landscapes. It can be planted as a specimen tree, in small groups, or in containers. Its variegated leaves add visual interest and create a striking contrast.
