Whilst the Russo Japanese war is well served by Tsuba Miniatures, the uniforms are late war,, Oshiro do a small range, that leaves us with Redoubt which have a character of their own and  Old Glory , oh I almost forgot Stan Johansen however in my opinion whilst these are nice the headgear is not right.

The early Boxer rebellion offers uniforms that can serve 1894-1895, 1900 and the early part of 1905  however an updated range incorporating winter dress as well , along with mountain guns would be good

I have taken the plunge and commissioned a 28mm Japanese Infantryman, that will fit in height wise with GRINGOS40 so I can use my Black Flags as Chinese in Summer dress for 1894-1895, the figure will also do nicely for the Boxer Rebellion

The next will be an infantryman in light kit. At the battle of  Songhwan 1894 a Japanese report describes the men went into battle having left their backpacks in the supply wagons except for only their ammo pouches and carrying only a breadbag and waterbottle
