I was told this was one of a group of japanese maples often referred to as the 'Witches Broom' category for its more spiderlike leaves. Others referred to as witches broom category also include Koto no Ito, for instance. I grouped mine with two others for color in a triangle so eventually they will have their branches and leaves touch. I placed it with an Orange Dream and a Inabe Shidare in the triangle, and a Orido Nishiki back behind that you will see as a view through them. I have a 'thing' about wanting to see my maples in best color contrast through the various windows in my house so they are often placed for best window view as well. I love this one because it spreads well into an umbrella shape and you can sit out under it for a little shade in the heat. It has been extremely hearty without any help from me.
