A deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family (APG classification: Rosaceae). It is 0.5-1 meter tall, and occasionally grows to nearly 2 meters. The branches are well-branched and have angular edges. The leaves are ovate-circular or elliptical, 1-4.5 cm long, entire except for a slight notch at the tip, and slightly white on the underside. From May to July, the new branches bear white, five-petaled flowers about 8 mm in diameter in a panicle. The fruit is a capsule. It is endemic to Japan, growing on rocky areas in the subalpine and lower alpine zones of the Chubu and Tohoku regions, and is often seen in serpentine and limestone areas. The leaf shape is varied, and the oblanceolate type is sometimes distinguished as the variant of Acanthus longifolius. The variant Acanthus longifolius, which is often planted in gardens, grows wild on rocks on riverbanks in Shikoku, and has very long and slender leaves.
