Cheap Asian Antiques

Please help me come up with an idea for my final piece of art GCSE? ?

Basically, my theme is Japan. (I am aware of the recent tragedy that has hit Japan, but please just bear with me). Baically, in my final piece, I would like to do something along the lines of a landscape, but it has to be unique. In my piece, I would like a bonsai tree, and some "netsuke" fingurines to be placed around my picture. I would like my piece to be slightly abstract also. Please help me, I am stuck for ideas.

don`t know much about landscape but im awesome at abstract you can abstract the sun by making it wavy and out of proportion using unusual colors would be a good abstraction technique (blue sun red building purple ground) you can also add patterns to the building or make them silhouettes
their is a bunch of stuff you can do you can look at some of my work although i dont have any japanese or landscapes ( i dont think) but it may inspire you (i hope)
