Chapter 691: Three Treasures in a Bowl
Watanabe was also excited just now, and the reason why he was so out of shape was because of the bowl in front of him.
In the eyes of the Chinese, this bowl may be just an inconspicuous tea bowl, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it means too far-reaching, and this bowl is their national treasure.
In Japan, there are many such bowls, but most of them cannot be called Yaobian Tianmu bowls, but can only be called ordinary Song Dynasty kiln tea black porcelain.
However, there are three of them whose status is absolutely unparalleled, and only these three can be made into the Outer Yao Transformation Tianmu Bowl, they were rated as Japan's top national treasures as early as the 70s of the last century, and these three bowls are called the three treasures in the bowl.
One of the most exquisite and beautiful is the one that was placed in the Seikado Bunko in Tokyo, known as the most beautiful one, and this one is also the most beautiful, after crossing from the Song Dynasty to Japan, it immediately caused a sensation and became a treasure of decision for many royal nobles to compete for.
At that time, there were two in Japan, but unfortunately one was destroyed in the Honnoji Incident, and the remaining one became an heirloom of the Tokugawa family, and during the Meiji period, this bowl finally became the private collection of the head of the Mitsubishi family, Iwasaki Koyata, and was later stored by him in the Seikado Bunko in Tokyo.
The experience of this bowl is very legendary, it can be said that it has gone through most of the history of Japan, so after the Tokugawa family got this bowl, they even regarded this bowl as a symbol of their shogun's power for a time.
And ordinary Japanese people also agree with this view, and even many people feel that the status of this bowl in Japan back then was similar to the emperor's jade seal.
In the words of our Chinese, the status of this bowl in Japan is similar to that of our ancestors and the clan, and those who have to be with the clan have won the world. So this bowl is a symbol of heaven and power in Japan.
And the other two, both of which are not small, one is stored in the Daitoku-in Temple of Kyoto Ryuko-ji Temple, and this bowl is also the most simple of the three treasures in the bowl.
The other is the Fujita Museum of Art, which is housed in Osaka, and was also collected by Japanese celebrities of the time.
As for the rest of Japan. There are also a lot of collections that claim to be Yao Chang Tianmu Bowls, but those Yao Chang Tianmu Bowls are actually just playing side balls in the name of Yao Chang Tianmu, after all, this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl is very difficult to burn.
Even in the Song Dynasty back then, most of them were able to fire such porcelain when they fired the black porcelain tea bowls that were built in the kiln by chance.
Today, when science and technology are so developed, countless porcelain masters have spent countless efforts and used countless advanced technologies. But it is still difficult to reproduce such a beautiful tea bowl.
And this is the most precious thing about this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl, which cannot be replicated in the modern age of science and technology, of course, it must be listed as the top national treasure among the national treasures!
As for the so-called Yaobian Tianmu bowls collected by other art museums in Japan, they are actually just cousins of Yaobiantianmu bowls, pure black porcelain built in the Song Dynasty.
Although it is from the same sect, the identity and status of these two bowls are the difference between heaven and earth.
Although the amount of black porcelain in the building kiln is not particularly large, after all, this thing was not the mainstream in the Song Dynasty. In the next few dynasties of China, it disappeared even more.
Black lacquered coarse porcelain. That is, in that era, people because they like to fight tea, they only burned a batch, and when they reached the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, this bell bowl was basically extinct. It was not liked by later Chinese, nor was it very popular with foreigners.
After all, porcelain originated in China, and the taste of foreigners will be more or less influenced by Chinese.
However, the Yao Changtianmu bowl derived from the black porcelain of this kiln is different. Although the shape is ordinary, the magnificent pattern inside the bowl gives this bell bowl an extraordinary philosophical significance, and the number of surviving is scarce, so almost every one of these bowls is a rare treasure.
In particular, the Japanese once regarded this bell bowl as a symbol of power, which doubled the value of this bell bowl.
Now the Japanese are even more blatant to regard those Yao Chang Tianmu bowls as the national treasures of their own country, so when Junichi Watanabe saw this bowl, the excitement can be understood.
This bowl is so extraordinary, it is precisely because of the stories of the gods behind this bowl, as well as the unique philosophical pattern of the pattern in the mouth of the bowl, that during the Japanese invasion of China, there was a crazy search for this kind of bowl in the place of origin.
But in the end, it was just a useless work, after all, it was hundreds of years ago, and this bowl was also in the Southern Song Dynasty period, which was popular for a while, but soon declined.
And the mainstream people of the later dynasties of China didn't like this thing at all, so the black porcelain in Jianzhou was not produced at all, so how easy is it to find this bell bowl?
Later, Japan was defeated, the forces retreated back to the mainland, and there was no longer a chance to find this kind of bowl, until the tacit understanding in the seventies after the change, there was an apprentice worker named Kobayashi Kyosuke who fired porcelain in Japan at that time, and this guy didn't know how to find a lot of fragments of the Yaobian Tianmu bowl in China.
He brought those fragments back to Japan, and then carefully studied them for a long time, and actually repaired a few Yaobian Tianmu bowls for him, which made this originally not very famous porcelain firing apprentice famous, and became one of the most famous porcelain firing masters in Japan at that time.
And the Yao Chang Tianmu bowls he repaired caused a sensation back then.
Many big Japanese conglomerates were willing to spend a lot of money to buy those Yao Chang Tianmu bowls from him, but they were all rejected by that guy one by one.
That guy relied on his craft to become a famous potter in Japan, not only did he open his doors to many students, so that every piece of porcelain he fired with his own hands could be sold for a high price in Japan.
And it was with the money he earned that he opened a pottery museum in the Tokyo area, and the restored bowls are now in his museum.
Such a top national treasure, Junichi Watanabe, who was born in a family of Japanese antique dealers, if he doesn't know, then he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.
And now he can't accept the fact that there is a Yao Chang Tianmu bowl in front of him no matter what.
How much effort did we Japanese put into this thing back then, but we couldn't find it from China, but now it's so good, this banana man, I just took one out of my body.
How is this possible? This is one of Japan's top national treasures!
Could it be that this guy went to visit the Seikado Bunko in Tokyo? Or maybe he went to the Fujita Museum of Art in Osaka? Or maybe he patronized Ryukoji Temple in Kyoto?
Thinking about this guy's origin, Watanabe felt that there was such a possibility, and when he thought that this guy might have stolen Japan's national treasure, he was a hot blood.
Although he and this Mr. Jim are in a cooperative relationship, after all, he is still a Japanese, and as a Japanese B society, their gang is notoriously 'patriotic', shouting the slogan of heaven and punishment back then, how many earth-shattering things have their ancestors, those ronins, done?
The crown prince of Russia, as well as the dignitaries of Japan, were once the targets of their assassination.
Now when I think that this thing is a Japanese national treasure, but it was actually stolen by foreigners, Junichi Watanabe is of course angry.
But he was only angry for half a second, and Jin Muchen over there was angry, although he only asked briefly: "What did you say?" ”
But such a simple sentence made Junichi Watanabe feel like a basin of cold water, and his head was splashed on his body.
It was at this time that he remembered the identity and status of the other party, this guy's background is mysterious, not to mention, just talk about the murderous aura exuded from his body at this time, he was originally quite a warm person, but when his face suddenly turned cold, Watanabe could feel that his gaze instantly turned into a knife, constantly scraping around his face.
Watanabe has been in the dark for a while, but he has this kind of eyesight, and he has seen no more than five people who can have such vision and exude such a murderous aura.
And these five people are almost all notoriously ruthless people in the famous soups of Yakuza, as far as he knows, such guys, each of them has more than ten lives on their hands.
Thinking about this guy's mysterious and ferocious methods, and the background that he is now the top supplier on his head, Watanabe's legs suddenly softened.
After calming down, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that this bowl could not have been stolen from those major museums in Japan, not to mention that those museums were heavily guarded, and said that if this bowl was really stolen from those places, then the Japanese media would have already blown up the news.
And as a well-informed person, how could he not have heard such news?
So at this time, the cold sweat on his back suddenly broke out, and he knelt on the ground, and then he knocked his head down.
"I'm sorry, Jim-san was so excited that I didn't choose what to say, please forgive me. The reason why I said that sentence is also because I am so excited, and you may not know the meaning of this Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl to us Japanese. That's why I'm going to react like that, and I ask Jim-san for your pardon." (To be continued.) )
