Lovely! Mine is based in a historic battle between siamese and japanese troops all attired samurai-style against a fleet of malayan pirates. When did asiatics start using howdah-mounted cannons? Where is that pic from?

I am not sure where the pic came from,. Historically there was a unit of Japanese troops within the Royal Court

Representations of local war elephants here in Thailand usually have the howdahs bristling like porcupines with spears, glaives, tridents, hooked poles, halberds, axes, and the like. The result is pretty attractive. Note that the person sitting furthest forward (in what we usually think of as the chauffeur's seat) is probably the highest-ranking one.
