Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Bonkei, Japanese for 'tray landscape,' is a three-dimensional depiction of a landscape in miniature, portrayed using mainly dry materials like rock, papier-mâché or cement mixtures, and sand in a shallow tray. Although bonkei materials are usually dry, flowing water and seasides are often depicted, with varying colors of gravel or sand making up the land and the water elements."--Wikipedia.
