A book showing some of the species of Violets which can be found in Eastern Japan. The authors have been photographing Violets for about 11 years and have put together this collection of Violets photos showing what a visitor to the forest and mountains of Eastern Japan can hope to find in the spring of the year. This book lists scientific names (Latin) as well as the Japanese common names (in Katakana). This work shall attempt to show the violets (Viola sp.) which we have identified with enough confidence so that we have been comfortable to add them to our life list of violets we have seen. This book does not represent a comprehensive listing of the violets which can be found in eastern Japan, nor is it intended to be a comprehensive guide to identification, it merely shows an interested reader some violets which can be seen without spending a great deal of money. How many species of violets will you find here? Well, there are 103 images, but some of them show different colors, different angles or overview shots of the same species. It seems like there are probably about 70 species, but then again some of you may not count like that because some of the pictured violets are actually subspecies, forms and/or varieties of a species. So, count how you wish, but there are 103 images. There are MANY more than 103 photos though, as in some cases a single image is composed of 4 ? 6 photos.
