This photography has been delayed much too long by a combo of lazyness, weather and distractions, but here it is. I tried to experiment in texture and landscaping techniques to create something reflective of aspects of japanese culture. I'm sorry If you were expecting something bigger and better.

Amazing!

I love the sitting minifig (actually, all of the minifigs), the tree and roots, and the hanging ninja, in particular.

Well done!

Yeah, all the fine detailing is great including the trees, simply built in accordance with the classic aesthetic. I do feel, however, that this scene works for more of a showcase of individual details that are all well mastered in their own respect rather than a fluent combination, for it lacks a certain cohesive element effectively tying all of the six very different social classes together into one scene.
Regardless, I very much appreciate the individual aspects of masterpiece on their own as very creative and original for an overall excellent piece.
