Ronin/Daisho, a return to the East

Thanks James!

Remember me saying I probably wouldn't finish the cherry trees before Hanami ends? Well, turns out I was wrong:

At this point I still needed to add the fallen cherry blossoms to the bases.

Once that was done, I couldn't resist have a little play around:

During Hanami, Tamiya-san and Ronin Hasegawa re-enact the impromptu duel that led to their years-long friendship, as Katsunaka the priest and Kageyori the Miko look on from a safe distance.

And a view from above:

The glue on the flock needs to dry for a few days, and then I can fixate things, to prevent unneeded shedding.

Doing the trees this weekend does mean I couldn't work on my villagers, but they won't spoil and I can always continue on them some future weekend.
Now I'll just have to decide what my next scenery project will be? I'm thinking maybe a small Kofun or some scatter scenery, like little shrines, or signposts or something. Maybe, I'll just go off the deep end and start building a village? Come to think of it, I have a Torii, a sacred rock, might as well add a shrine or temple? I'll need to ruminate a bit, I guess.

Fantastic start to your project!
I am just getting into asian stuff after pledging "Rising Sun" on kickstarter. The most important rule seems to be you have to have cherry blossom on the table
