"Sumire Zukan" (Violet Encyclopedia) * I purchased this book on Mercari in September for ¥3850 to learn how to classify different violets, as it's difficult to distinguish them without flowers. However, it didn't suit my intended use, so I'm selling it after only reading it once. * It contains many photos of different varieties and is a good encyclopedia. I have quoted the previous seller's product description. * Seiya Tabuchi * Original Price: ¥1,922 * Just as the pros and cons of insect collecting are being debated in recent years, there is a review of the one-sided way of thinking of "don't take, don't touch." The names of flowers and insects that children learn by touching them are strangely unforgettable even when they become adults. Isn't it a shortcut to understanding the importance of nature to come into contact with and become familiar with nature within certain rules? If you are interested in violets, please go out and visit the violets that are secretly, and sometimes in full bloom, in the mountains and fields in the spring. If you go out referring to the cherry blossom front, you are sure to have a wonderful encounter. Furthermore, if you want to feel closer to violets, I would like you to cultivate them. First, learn about the nature of violets with commercially available ones that are propagated by seeds and roots, and master how to grow and propagate them, and then I would like you to challenge wild violets. Although this small book cannot fully convey the charm of "lovely and pure" violets, I hope you will feel even a little bit of it. (From the afterword)
