A seaweed of the red algae family, Gracilaria family. It has a soft, leathery, flattened thallus, with the leaflets repeatedly branching out and spreading out like Fatsia leaves, sometimes with small leaflets on the side edges. The body color varies widely, from yellowish to blackish purple, and it is up to 30 centimeters in size. It is a warm-water plant, and is commonly found in shallow seas throughout Japan from spring to summer. It is used as a secondary ingredient in agar production, and as a garnish for sashimi.
