Searching for 28 mm Japanese playing shakuhachi
« on: April 06, 2010, 02:40:04 AM »
Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows of a company that produces a miniature of a Japanese playing the shakuhachi.

Many thanks in advance.

Helen
Best wishes,
Helen

What is a shakuhachi?

A Japanese bamboo flute, also wielded as a club. Very Zen.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thank you Joroas,

Infact I think the set will be ideal for WW2 genre as well.

Thanks again,

Helen

And in case it isn't immediately obvious, the fluteplayer is the chap with the waste paper basket on his head. Now, who says Guardsmen wearing bearskins or boaters at Henley are riduculous traditions?

Ninjas sometimes disguised themselves as these travelling minstrels, who would pass through towns disguised and unnoticed...........
