Chapter 84: Winged Tiger
"Boy, I'm Master Sakamoto is a handmade wrought iron pot, and it took the master two years to complete it in 1846, right?"
Wu Tianyuan only now realized that his ability was not only to listen to Chinese antiques, but also to listen to Japanese ones! I may not have really been exposed to it before, and there were no master works in the Republic of China. Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, from 1600 to 1900, Japan has also produced many masters.
There is also Europe is the golden age of art, Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Gauguin, Rousseau and a large number of top artists were born, and now they are all hot goods with more than 100 million.
"What a boost! Since you can listen to Japan, other countries should also be able to hear it at this time, Lao Tzu, this is the rhythm of taking off! ”
"But why can't you absorb the energy?"
Wu Tianyuan was puzzled and picked up another pot to try, and sure enough, he could only listen and communicate, but there was no energy to absorb.
"It seems that if you want to evolve, you still have to absorb the energy of Chinese antiques, and the artworks of other countries can only be exchanged, so that's the case!"
Liu Huasheng looked at Wu Tianyuan's fascination, and admired it very much, concentration is the most basic talent of all professions, this kid can have such determination, and his future will be greatly developed.
"How?"
"This iron kettle of Master Sakamoto should be a work of 1846, a masterpiece, and there is a secret mark here, which is equivalent to the bottom paragraph, and here ......"
Wu Tianyuan told the story, which made Liu Huasheng impressed, and said secretly: "Liu Meizi, that girl doesn't mean that Wu Tianyuan has studied Chinese antiques, it seems that he is also a master of Japanese tea props!" ”
The more the two of them chatted, the more speculative they became, Wu Tianyuan had special abilities, so naturally he could easily get any inside story, so that Liu Huasheng's tea props collection everyone also looked at it differently.
"No wonder you kid can pick up the leak! It's definitely not surprising to have this eyesight! ”
Liu Huasheng said with a smile: "Originally, I thought that Liu Meizi was exaggerating, but I really underestimated your level when I saw it today!" ”
Wu Tianyuan said embarrassedly: "Uncle Liu, Chinese and Japanese cultures are not separated, and they are just bypassed." ”
Liu Huasheng nodded, modest and polite, his eyesight was still high, and his daughter did not follow the wrong person.
"I heard that you asked Yanagiko to pick up leaks everywhere at Japanese auction houses? What do you think? ”
Wu Tianyuan has long known that as Liu Meizi's father, people must care about this issue, Zhengse said: "Actually, it's very simple, it's to say that if it's big, it's to rescue cultural relics, and if it's small, it's to make money." Ming people do not speak dark words, you are also Chinese, this should not be difficult to understand. ”
"Refreshing!" Liu Huasheng said with a smile: "Be fast, you kid has an appetite for me!" ”
Liu Huasheng stood up, walked to the window and said: "Actually, I have been very conflicted over the years, rooted in Japan, have a family and career, and find that the culture here is very good, and I respect the artists very much." But every time I see domestic cultural relics in the hands of the locals, I still feel uncomfortable being treasured by them. ”
Liu Huasheng took Wu Tianyuan into another room, Wu Tianyuan was instantly shocked, hundreds of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, the walls are famous calligraphy and paintings, a room of at least two or three hundred Ming and Qing antiques.
"These are my treasures for decades, and every time I meet them, I try to collect them, just waiting for the day when they can be returned to my motherland. Just like our wandering wanderers, we must return to our roots! ”
Wu Tianyuan listened to Liu Huasheng's sigh while secretly absorbing energy. The Qing Dynasty was the majority, and there were also forty or fifty antiques in the Ming Dynasty. The Liu family is worthy of being a family with a profound heritage. He was originally a little proud, and he recently missed a lot of fine products, but when I look at it today, it is still far from good!
"Don't look at me like that!" Liu Huasheng looked at Wu Tianyuan's admiration and said: "I'm just an ordinary person in the Osaka collecting circle, and there are more than a dozen big collectors I know, let alone other cities." Japan is the country with the most cultural relics in the country, and there are too many treasures in temples, museums, art galleries, and private individuals. ”
"The greatest treasure is the royal family, and no one knows how many national treasures they have! I've heard a rumor that what's out there is only the tip of the iceberg, and that there are countless heavy weapons that have been kept secret, all of which are treasured by the royal family. ”
Wu Tianyuan has also read Niu Feng's information and knows that this is true. As the biggest beneficiary of the war, Japan has countless national treasures looted, and a small Yanagi family has hundreds of collections, which can imagine the strength of the imperial family.
"In fact, the war is only a small part, from the customs trade since 1860 to the guò trade and smuggling of cultural relics through guò in the past 150 years. Among them, we should also reflect on our own mistakes, there are a large number of people with lofty ideals in the people, and it is also a modest effort to return cultural relics through their own strength. ”
Wu Tianyuan couldn't imagine that Liu Huasheng was also the same person as himself, so he was more cordial in his heart, and the two chatted until late at night before resting.
"Senior brother, where are we going to pick up the leak today? Why bring a shovel? ”
Early in the morning, Wu Tianyuan took Liu Meizi to prepare to set off to hunt for treasure, and the two of them drove by themselves, and Wu Tianyuan also brought some tools before going out.
"Go treasure hunting!" Wu Tianyuan looked at Liu Meizi's excited appearance and said, "I got the news that there is a treasure in Osaka, and even a treasure map, do you want to go?" ”
"It's so exciting, go, let's go!"
Liu Meizi drove excitedly, Wu Tianyuan followed the instructions of the treasure map to find the specific location, and the car drove until the remote suburbs and stopped in front of an abandoned barn.
"Here are some barns left over from the Edo period, abandoned for a long time, and the treasure is here?"
Wu Tianyuan took out the treasure map, studied it, and affirmed: "This is it, according to the location, it should be not far behind the barn, go!" ”
Two people took their tools, and with no one around, they secretly ran to a small dirt slope behind the barn and began to dig!
"I've seen the box, quick!"
After digging for more than twenty minutes, Liu Miko shouted, she could already see a treasure chest, and she became excited.
"Lift it out and see what?"
The two men carried the box out, used a shovel to cut the rusty lock, and several things appeared in front of them.
"This is Koichi Tamura's handle pot and teacup?"
Liu Meizi was born in a tea ceremony family, and at first glance, she stared at the pot in the treasure chest, and said excitedly after looking at it for a while.
"Well, there is also the incense burner of Sakakoba Mountain, this should be a picture of the beauty of Lingchuan Shixuan!"
After listening to it, Wu Tianyuan confirmed his identity, this time it turned out to be a Japanese cultural relic, not a domestic antique?
"Get out of here first, and then we'll talk about it." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so the two of them put their things in the car and went directly back to Liu's house.
"You kid really found a treasure?"
Liu Huasheng stared at Wu Tianyuan incredulously, looking at the four master-level boutiques in front of him, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
"This is the main purpose of coming to Osaka, I got a treasure map of Yamashita Fengwen by chance, and it took a long time to lock the approximate location, originally to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to be really rewarding."
"It's not just a harvest, it's a big discovery!"
Liu Huasheng said excitedly: "Let's talk about the two porcelain masters first, whether it is Koichi Tamura or Sakakohayama, they are all pivotal figures in Japan. Rated as an important cultural figure by the government, commonly known as a national treasure! Their works represent two genres, especially Koichi Tamura, the most distinctive representative of Ita Wanyaki. ”
Liu Huasheng couldn't put it down and played with the handle pot and teacup, Wu Tianyuan didn't know much about the Japanese master, and he was a little disappointed this time, but looking at his excited appearance, it should also be of some value.
"There is also a picture of the returning beauty of Lingchuan, which is a museum-level collection, well-preserved, and very rare."
Wu Tianyuan was almost resting, and said with a smile: "Is there a way for Uncle Liu to change it to our antiques?" How many Japanese collectors can you swap? ”
