This is callicarpa dichotoma or more commonly purple beautyberry or early amethyst. Small masses of tiny pale pink flowers with long yellow stamens are so pretty!
The plant's called "smaller purple" because it has similar but smaller purple berries than Japanese beautyberry, which is in Japanese called "Murasaki Shikibu" or "Lady Purple," i.e., also the name of a Japanese novelist, poet and lady-in-waiting at the Imperial court in the Heian period and the author of "The Tale of Genji," the Japanese novel about the life and romances of an aristocrat Hikaru Genji. The plant will have beautiful purple berries in October.

小紫（コムラサキ）です。紫式部に似ているけど小さい実をつけるのでコムラサキだそうです。実が生る10月が今から楽しみです。
