This is one of my favourite small hostas. It makes a WONDERFUL edger as it stays small, grows fast and is very easy to divide. I've had mine a decade or more. Couldn't find it listed the last time I looked. BTW, there is some controversy over whether its name should be 'Fukurin Ko Mame', but I believe Kifukurin is correct as the margin does stay yellow all season.

If I were in the USA, I'd be happy to share some, but we've got that International border between us. I hope you are able to find it.
