Finally! I've scanned the slide that has the little people! The top cave is about three inches around and the bottom cave is 2"x3". The people are made of mostly cut paper, I had to use tweezers and a magnifying glass - those pink cheeks are TINY. The three baskets are really woven - I made a very tiny tiny weave and cut out the basket shapes. Here is a much better even more zoomed-in look.

Those guys are the shinto spirits of the scholar's rock. They're everywhere! The whole painting is here. Thumbs-up from William Bailey! Thumbs-up from Pat Adams!
