Forest Bathing

In keeping with the 'Season of Good Will' and all that, I thought I would post something of a peaceful nature.

One of my presents this Xmas was a book called 'Forest Bathing'. The basic idea is that immersing yourself in a sea of green will do you a power of good. (Well, a walk in the woods never harmed anyone -- apart from Varus's legions -- so why not?)

Apparently even some green in your work place is good for you, so my wife put together a small Bonsai arrangement for my office desk. I supplied a 28mm Japanese peasant in order to add some character, and what you see is the result.







The figure is from a 28mm Essex miniatures set of Heian era villagers which I bought for my Ronin Wars collection in order to spice it up. See below:

28mm Essex Heian period. Front row L to R: Rotten Little Kid, Harassed Mother, Woman with Attitude, Lord & Lady. Rear  row L to R: Two Working Stiffs, Woman with Load, Old Man.






The set also includes four additional (unpainted) figures which are not shown.

Cheers!
