Common blue violet (Viola sororia) is native to eastern North America. It was imported to Japan in or after the Meiji period (1868-1912) and can now be found across the country. Despite such beauty (especially purple veins!), the violet is often treated as weeds in Japan. Those in these photos should be, too. They're just growing on sidewalks, seeming to enjoy themselves unattended.
