    About this ebook

    NOTE WELL: This book is a PHOTO BOOK - designed for viewing/reading on devices which support color.

    A PHOTO book showing some of the species of Violets which can be found in Eastern Japan. The authors have been photographing Violets for about 8 years and have finally put together this collection of Violets photos showing what a visitor to the forests 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).

    Daniel has been living (and photographing) in Japan for over 10 years now. His partner and himself started photographing Violets about 8 years ago and became interested in identifying them correctly soon after that. They found a detailed book in Japanese language, so Kazuya (the co-author of this work) was able to read it, but not Daniel. They found this work to be very good and were quickly able to start identifying their photographs of Violets. They have added about 60 species to their life list since they have been Violets maniacs. This book shows 87 of Daniel and Kazuya's photos of Violets.

    Daniel H. Wieczorek

    Daniel Wieczorek was born in 1947 in Ionia, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Forestry in 1969. He moved to Oregon to work in the field of forestry in 1971. That was followed by a move to Alaska in 1975, where he continued his career in forestry. After about a 14 year career in forestry, Daniel decided to do something different and he served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines from 1985 – 1987. Upon completion of his Peace Corps service he returned to Alaska, where he attended the University of Alaska – Fairbanks and received an M.B.A. in 1991. This was followed by a move to South Korea in 1992, where Daniel taught English to Korean people wishing to improve their English Language skills. Daniel’s next stop was in New York City, where he worked as temporary staff at Deutsche Bank from 1998 – 2001. He left NYC in March 2001 and moved on to his present home in Mitaka City, Tokyo, Japan. He is teaching English in Japan and at this time he’s been teaching as a career for about 17 years. He has been hiking, climbing and doing photography since he was about 12 years old.

      Some Violets of Eastern Japan - Daniel H. Wieczorek

      FOREWORD

      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. 

      We considered several different methods to display the violets in this book.  We tried arranging them by color, but quickly realized that several species come in various colors – so that idea went by the wayside.  Then we considered trying to show them by region – that idea was also very quickly rejected as many if not most species occur in more than one region.  What we finally decided upon was just to show them in pure alphabetical order.

      How many species of violets will you find here?  Well, there are 87 photos, but some of them show different colors, different angles or overview shots of the same species.  It seems like there are probably about 50 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 87 photos.

      We hope that these photos will show you something which excites your imagination and makes you want to get out in the forest and on to the mountains to see some violets!

      Oh, by the way, we are going to be purposefully vague about some locations because we do not like plant thieves and we do not support those activities.  We know they exist, and we loath them.

      We will list the regions (see map – page 1) where we found these violets for the first time.  For the location codes we will use (T) for the Tohoku Region, (K) for the Kanto Region and (C) for the Chubu Region.  You will find this code immediately after the Japanese name of each violet.  This location does not indicate that the violet can ONLY be found in this region, it only indicates where we first found it.
