Are These Itoigawa?

Purchased these cuttings claiming they’re Itoigawa Shimpaku. I think they are based on what I’m finding online, but some confirmation would put my mind at ease. Are these Itoigawa?

@Brian Van Fleet?

I’ve heard you’re the expert.

Same cutting in daylight.

It’s hard to tell at this age. Itoigawa foliage gets much denser than that, but usually only when it’s had some vigorous growth. The color looks right for itoigawa to me, but not really the density.

Yes, that's itoigawa.

Looks right to me, they’re just a little sparse as mentioned.
