in order to give the army a distintive look, what kind of flock material or bases would you use?

Yes, on Truk Island.

Tall Yellow grass here and there??? A stone thrown in for good measure?

ghostdog,
What part of the east would your Japanese be fighting?

You have a lot of options: white coral rubble on some islands, black volcanic ash on others, Burma, Malaya, and the Philippines along with a few other islands have dense vegetation of different types.

So bases with kunai grass, broken bamboo, black sand, white sand, and we're not including temperate and desert climates on the northeast Asian mainland

Cut off a couple of arms and legs from other figs and have them sticking out of the sand on the base.
