Compared with the concept of financial management of housewives in China, the concept of financial management of housewives in Japan is indeed much more advanced.

They are not ashamed to use old goods, and even many housewives are proud to have a set of old lacquerware or an antique dining table at home.

And our domestic family financial management concept, at present, is still based on buying a house, stocks, and even loan sharks, which is indeed much worse than others in terms of risk and value preservation.

Watanabe didn't speak, and Jin Muchen didn't ask anymore, but he began to pay attention to the scene in this market, savoring the difference between this market and the antique markets he had been to before.

In fact, from the point of view, the most intuitive impression is one point, that is, clean.

Although there is a lot of traffic, most Japanese people will carry a plastic bag with them when they visit the market, and if there is any garbage on their body, they will put it in the plastic bag, and then when they leave, they will throw the plastic bag into the garbage bin at the entrance of the museum, which is indeed more than our Chinese people realize.

And almost every booth has an ashtray in front of it, but in the whole venue, there are very few smokers, or even none at all.

This made Jin Muchen very admirable, and after reading the overview of the market, Jin Muchen focused all his attention on the exhibits of a stall in the market.

Most of the exhibits in the antiques section are Northeast Asian styles, mainly porcelain, and almost all of these porcelains are influenced by ancient Chinese art styles.

All kinds of cups, dishes and dishes, all kinds of blue and white porcelain, but first of all, the shape is not very large. And it's mainly utilitarian-based. Large ornaments are rare.

At first glance, it looks like antique Chinese porcelain. But if you look closely at the patterns on the cups, pans, and dishes, you can see the difference.

Most of the features of the flowers, birds, insects, and fish on the above are in Japanese style, and the figures are mainly in Japanese style.

In addition, there are a large number of Korean porcelain, Korean porcelain, which is also very influenced by China, and most of these Korean porcelains are celadon based on imitation Song porcelain. There aren't too many patterns on it.

Looking at it, Jin Muchen didn't have many things to look at, because he didn't see any porcelain from China in this market, so he couldn't help but feel very strange, so he asked Junichi Watanabe to arrive.

"Watanabe-san, I've been looking at it for a while, and the scale of this antique exhibition is not small, there can probably be thousands of stalls, but these stalls. Why is there no antique porcelain from China? I took a look, and most of them are Japanese and Korean porcelain. ”

And Watanabe listened to the question. It was a wry smile.

"Jim-san, that's right. It is true that the antique porcelain here is mainly Japanese and Korean porcelain, and Chinese porcelain is very rare at such exhibitions. The specific reason is also because the Japanese antiques and Korean antique porcelain in the early years were all influenced by Chinese civilization, so in terms of artistic style, it is basically the same routine as Chinese porcelain. But if you really compare the porcelain of the three families, it must be superior. To be honest, Chinese porcelain is the ancestor of Japanese porcelain and Korean porcelain, so the price is also high and low. The price of Chinese antique porcelain is definitely much higher than that of Japanese porcelain and Korean porcelain. And such a trade fair, the main consumers are civilian groups, all housewives. If those Chinese porcelains are put on display, the identity of Chinese porcelain will be reduced, and these housewives will not be able to afford it. So this is also the main reason why Chinese porcelain is rarely seen at such exhibitions. If you're looking for some high-end Chinese porcelain, I recommend visiting the antique shops in the area around Nihonbashi in front of the Tokyo Motor Show. ”

Watanabe's words made Jin Muchen feel a lot more comfortable, and sure enough, no matter where he goes, our porcelain in Greater China can be regarded as the uncle in the porcelain industry.

Even small Japan, which likes to promote its culture and its entry from Asia and Europe, has no choice but to bow down in this regard.

Even now, our Chinese porcelain is considered a high-end commodity in Japan!

What Japanese porcelain, Korean porcelain, our Great Chinese porcelain, now a few streets away from them.

Of course, this is only within the Chinese cultural circle, and in the world, it is not that there is no high-end antique porcelain that can compete with Chinese porcelain.

For example, European porcelain, which only began to be born in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is now the top porcelain antiques in the international antiques market.

Especially the Severle porcelain factory in France, or the porcelain of Royal Dalton and Wedgwood in England, which are all antique porcelain that can compete with our Great China porcelain in the antique market.

And when it comes to modern porcelain, people are even more away from our streets, the current British Royal Dalton's bone china, Wedgwood, and Germany's Dresden porcelain, and even the works of the Reynolds porcelain factory in the United States, have already thrown off our porcelain capital porcelain a few streets.

Who would have thought that the ancestors who invented porcelain back then have now fallen to the point of being in the international market?

Now the porcelain exported by China is just synonymous with cheap stalls in the world, and the real high-end goods are all Western porcelain, such a scene, the ancestors thousands of years ago would never have thought of it.

Since there are not too many Chinese porcelains on the market, Jin Muchen is patient and begins to check the Japanese and Korean porcelains on the market.

But to be honest, the quality of these porcelains is indeed incomparable with our Chinese antique porcelain, whether it is fetal quality, or glaze, or the pattern on the porcelain, compared with the porcelain of our dynasty, it is indeed a big gap.

Of course, the things are average, and the price is relatively average, not very high, Jin Muchen probably took a look.

A piece of porcelain from the last shogunate period, even if it is fine porcelain, the average price is less than 10,000 yuan, and the general quality is two or three thousand yuan.

"Merchants here generally don't ask for too high a lying price for their goods, which is basically one layer higher than their income price, to about two layers, which is also the default unspoken rule of this market. Moreover, the credibility of the vendors here will be relatively high, and there are rarely fakes here, so even if you don't understand, you don't have to worry about being deceived here. ”

Watanabe gave Jin Muchen a general introduction to the pricing mechanism in this market, and Jin Muchen suddenly realized, no wonder there is no such scene of loud bargaining as he has seen in other markets.

It turns out that the pricing mechanism here is basically open and transparent.

And Watanabe's last few words made Jin Muchen blush, if it were in China, these housewives of Watanabe's wife group would have been slaughtered and wept bitterly.

The freshness of the market can be regarded as a rough idea, but the things inside, Jin Muchen is really nothing to look at.

But it's not easy to come here, and if you just go away, it's a little unemotional, since it's nothing to look at with antiques, it's better to go around the antiques.

So he turned around and walked towards the row of stalls of foreign antiques, but when he was about to walk out of this row of stalls, Jin Muchen's eyes suddenly flashed with blue light.

This sudden blue light made Jin Muchen stunned, because he hadn't seen such jewels for a long time.

In the past, when he often went to the antique market, it was common, but recently, his main energy has been focused on catching antique smugglers.

In addition, this Tokyo Bay Antique Fair, he has been shopping for most of the day, especially in the antique area, he feels that he has gradually despaired, thinking that he will not encounter any good things, but when he turned around to leave, he was able to see such jewels here, so that his mental position was shocked, it is difficult to do something good here.

He turned around and walked over to the stall, which was a stall that specialized in all kinds of bronzes, and there were all kinds of bronzes on it.

Unlike in Japan, copper products are not allowed to circulate in the antique market, so there are a lot of copper and other items on this stall.

All kinds of bronze ornaments, or copper lanterns, etc., are also interesting to look at, but you can see from a look at the shape that these are obviously not the kind of bronze ware that is popular in China.

The domestic ban on the circulation of bronzes is mainly because those bronzes are basically copper tripods, copper woks, or chimes and other things, and such things, as long as they are unearthed, they are national treasures, because in the era when they were produced, such things are basically not affordable by ordinary people, and they are basically palace materials, so they will be directly listed as national treasures.

But this is not the case in Japan, when we were able to produce and manufacture bronze ware, and the people here had just come down from the trees, and they were still knotting ropes and remembering, and they didn't even have their own language and writing.

When bronze ware became popular in Japan, it had already entered the shogunate period, and the wealthy families at that time, especially those with status, liked to put some lanterns at the door of their yards, as if it was a concept of our town house beasts. (To be continued.) )
