Peperomia of some sort. I'm sure someone who knows them better can get you closer.

The flowers on it dont look peperomia to me, but I could be wrong. I was almost thinking some sort of minature african violet.

Maybe a better pic of those white looking flowers on it, or a close up of a few of the leaves.

From the Google translation of that page to English, it seems like they are talking about miniature african violets... of which if you find a collector of them, there are TONS of them available now with all different size leaves, color flowers, etc.

Definately looks like some sort of miniature African Violet to me. Someone gave me one about the size of a quarter awhile back....thought it was a peperomia until it bloomed.
