Murasaki-Shikibu Japanese Beautyberry

The Callicarpa japonica 'Murasaki-Shikibu' is one of the most visually striking bonsai specimens available — celebrated for its clusters of vivid, jewel-like purple berries that emerge in autumn and persist well into winter. A plant that commands attention in any collection.

Murasaki-Shikibu (紫式部) – a court lady in purple

This cultivar is named after Murasaki Shikibu, a renowned Japanese author of the Heian period who wrote The Tale of Genji — one of the world’s earliest novels and an enduring epic of love and court life. Translated as “a court lady in purple,” the name pays tribute to the plant’s richly coloured berries, which echo the deep purples of Heian imperial dress. Owning this plant is, in a small way, a nod to over a thousand years of Japanese culture and artistry.

Why Choose Murasaki-Shikibu?

  • Spectacular berry display: Dense clusters of vivid purple berries make this one of the most eye-catching autumn and winter bonsai
  • Aged character: At 25 years old, these specimens arrive with established trunk width and natural bonsai form
  • Authentic Japanese import: Sourced directly from Japan for true cultivar quality and character
  • Standard growth rate: Regular berry size and reliable seasonal performance
  • Easy to grow: Adaptable and forgiving — suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike

More power, slightly lower (8%) MPG.
Size: (Pack of 1)
Installed on a 2.0 liter Subaru Impreza. I drive up/down the I5 in california 3-4 times a year. For those that don't know there is about a 200 mile flat stretch where everyone runs at 75-85mph. With various filters (FRAM, BOSCH, Subaru OEM), I would consistently get 29.8 mpg. Once I installed the K&N, I could feel the car pulling with a bit more power, but I noticed that I was getting about 27.5 mpg. Totally worth it as the impreza is a little under powered and I don't drive many miles (6k/year) but if you are putting a lot of miles on your car, you may want to have more mpg.

Very good quality comparable to OEM at a much more reasonable price point.
Size: (Pack of 1)
Last December we bought our first new car in 21 years and the first thing I did is stock up on cabin and engine air filters. I've got nothing against dealership OEM parts and pieces but what I do have an issue with is the prices. Luckily, we all have a bit of control over access to OEM quality parts and pieces at significantly more reasonable prices via Amazon. This filter and it's matching cabin filter are excellent in value and take less than 5 minutes to replace. Compare that to paying the hourly rate at your dealer plus the dealership retail price and you'll do what I did and stock up on these two filters. Definitely recommended.
