A deciduous shrub or small tree, glabrous in all its parts. Leaves broad-ovate, 3 to 6 in. long, 2 to 4 in. wide, entire, dark green above, glaucous beneath, with a pair of glands at the base. Petioles about 1 in. long. Flowers borne in June in erect catkin-like racemes at the ends of leafy shoots, the numerous male flowers very shortly stalked, the few female flowers at the base on pedicels about 1⁄2 in. long. Fruit a three-lobed roundish capsule flattened at both ends, about 7⁄8 in. wide, containing three seeds. Native of Japan, including the Ryukyus, and of China and Korea. Although not showy in flower it is of interest as one of the few woody members of the Spurge family hardy in this country. The leaves turn bright crimson in the autumn. It is in cultivation at the Hillier Arboretum, Romsey, Hants, and at Wakehurst Place, Sussex. http://www.beanstreesandshrubs.org/browse/sapium/sapium-japonicum-sieb-zucc-pax-hoffm/
