Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Anyone recognize this ginger?, 1 by imapigeon

I bought this with a grower's label calling it "Alpinia japonica var. kiusana" (photo of the tag will follow). Apparently this plant doesn't exist. I've spent quite a bit of time searching online ginger and tropical nurseries, but there's nothing like it pictured on any of them.

It's a dwarf---only about 18" tall---and hasn't bloomed yet.

I'd like to add it to PlantFiles, but there's nothing to confirm what was on the tag.
