Figurine

Miniature processional or parade. Two very soft slats of wood perhaps balsa have been nailed together to create a platform. 48 miniature lathe turned samurai-like figures are walking down an avenue past snow-covered pine trees. The lead figure with a yellow hand drum is leading the group past an upright wood obelisk. The upright wall has a sheet of paper with Japanese writing and two mon. The processional fits into a delicate gray patterned cardboard box.
