...Kujakuhiba has square-sectioned twigs growing horizontally on both sides of long branches, and there is also a yellow variety called Ogonkujakuhiba. Kanaamihiba has 4-5 rows of scaly leaves, and the twigs have square sections, with no distinction between the front and back. The same branch shape and linear leaves are called Hououhiba (also known as Shishinden). The only distinctions between forestry varieties are the late-ripening Honpi, which has thin branches, and the early-ripening Sakurahi, which has thick branches.
