043. He pretended to be there again
According to the tea party process, the next step is to display the tea set.
The reason for this link is, in name, to "make the general public appreciate the beauty of tea sets and thus appreciate the unique wabi-sabi aesthetics of the tea ceremony." In fact, it is probably Kurabashi's trick.
Although the organizer has prepared a huge amount of tea sets, they are all bargains and lack rare tea sets to take charge.
This will easily leave people with the impression that "Kurabashi is reluctant to spend money to build a tea set."
With this link, the tea house owners will be comparing, fearing that the tea sets they brought are too bad. In this way, they will fall into the organizer's plan and get a good tea bowl for free.
This move is the most powerful open plot. Even if Qian Linya guessed this, he jumped into the pit. He really couldn't jump.
The order of displaying tea bowls is still in the order of age, first it is Akira Kiribe, then Ikeda Ichihiro, then Hiraaka Atsushi and Ishida Ichihashi, and finally Chiruya.
Akira Kibe brought a Akara tea bowl produced in his country. After the introduction was simple, it was Ikeda Ikeda's turn.
He took out a Tangjin Shao very proudly.
When introducing the Tangjin Shao, Ikeda finally regained his confidence. Although he had not yet fully emerged from the failure of his speech just now, he was a little stuttering when he spoke. When he mentioned how precious this Tangjin Shao was, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
But the host seemed to be unable to understand his implicit meaning, just not asking what the price was, so Ikeda couldn't help but say, "Do you know how much the price of this Tangjinyao?"
The host finally got to know her and asked softly: "How many are they?"
"3.3 million yen!"
There were sounds of gasping in the air from the audience. Ikeda Ikeda was proud.
The host was silent.
This is a price he can't afford.
Ikeda Ikeda's speech was finally over. He sat back, and the look on his face had already returned.
"So, please Mr. Heizaka..."
There is nothing to say next. Hiraaka Atsushi brought an ordinary black tea bowl. Ishida Kazuhashi may have been influenced by Qian Linya. I don’t know where to find a lucky auspicious person, but I don’t know whether it is true or false.
Both of them did not raise the price in a tacit understanding.
Although the tea ceremony does not emphasize expensive tea sets, compared to the 3.3 million Tangjin Shao, their price is too overwhelming.
Finally, it was Qian Linya's turn. He slowly unbuttoned the silk cloth of the wooden box he brought and slowly opened the lid.
Although Ikeda was very confident about his Tang Tsubaki, he still couldn't help but sneak up and wanted to see what kind of tea bowl it was, so he packed it so carefully.
When I slowly pulled away the filling and took out the Jianzhan Yaobian Tianmu and the sudden rain, it did not cause much sensation.
After all, this teacup is very dark in color. On such occasions, you can only see a dark piece when you are far away, and you can't appreciate its dreamy glaze color.
Only those who are close to each other can see what they look like.
Ikeda frowned. This was a tea bowl he didn't know. Ishida's face showed a look of shock.
"This teacup is called Jianzhan Yaobian Tianmu and Shura, which I customized in China."
"Jianzhan Yaobian..." The host Otsuka repeated the name and felt very difficult.
"Jianzhan Yaobian Tianmu." Qian Linya said to him, "When it comes to Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, then I will tell you a historical story."
The host said in a timely manner: "Please speak!"
"Some teaware enthusiasts may know that in the world, there are only three Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls from the Song Dynasty. These three tea bowls are all in Japan and are Japan's national treasures."
Host Otsuka showed a surprised expression: "Eh? Is that true?"
"It's true," said Qian Linya. "Even in China, no Yaobian tea bowl was found. After the Yuan Dynasty, Yaobian technology was lost. Therefore, there are only three existing ancient Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls around the world."
"So that's it!" Otsuka Toulong said.
Chi Linya smiled and said, "Actually, there should be 4. One of them was held by Oda Nobunaga and was burned during the Honnoji Incident, so only 3 left now."
The Honnoji Incident was familiar to all Japanese people, and then everyone showed a look of surprise.
"How precious is Jianzhan? Let me give you an example. Some people who love history should know that Oda Nobunaga was born in Oharaku, and Oharaku's north is Mino Country occupied by the Saito family."
Some listeners familiar with history nodded, and Qianlinya continued: "The Saito family's residence was called Inabayama Castle, and the Saito family owns a history-born Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl. This tea bowl is called Inabayama Castle."
"Legendary: When Nobunaga was conquering Inabayama Castle, Saito Ryuki held this Inabayashi Episode and begged him to stop attacking. Nobunaga was a tea set lover. In order to prevent this tea bowl from being damaged, he gave up attacking the city. This is the origin of the saying "one cup, one city." [Note 1. See the author for comments.]
"Later, this inohayashi Tianmu was passed to the Tokugawa family, and the Tokugawa family rewarded the tea bowl to descendants of the Saito family. After historical changes, when this tea bowl appeared again in 1918, it was already the property of a man named 'Tehiro Ono'."
"This Tetsuro Ono sold the Inohaya Yoshimoto Tenme tea bowl to others for 167,000 yen. Please note that the 167,000 yen was the yen at that time, not the yen after depreciation today. The 167,000 yen at that time was worth 125.25 kilograms of gold, that is... more than 9.5 million US dollars, more than 1 billion yen."
"1 billion!"
Someone exclaimed in the audience.
1 billion yen.
Ikeda Ikeda's face suddenly became very ugly.
Just now, he repeatedly boasted about the scene of Tang Tinyao of 3.3 million yen, and it is still vivid in his mind. Now, Qian Linya directly brought a dimensional reduction attack.
"Guess who bought this tea bowl?" Qian Linya asked with a smile.
The host shook his head quickly.
"It was the Iwasaki family who founded Mitsubishi."
The host's mouth was wide open.
"This tea bowl is now in the Jingjiatang Library and is currently owned by the Iwasaki family, but because Jingjiatang is open for exhibition, if you have the chance in the future, you can go and have a look."
After saying this, Qian Linya quietly held the tea bowl in his hand with a lonely expression.
But the eyes of everyone looking at him had become very different.
"So there is still this history," Otsuka nodded constantly, and then asked again, "Teacher Qian, since you said that the technology of Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl had been lost as early as the Yuan Dynasty, then your tea bowl is again..."
Otsuka's body was trembling. If Qian Linya said that this was a tea bowl passed down from his family hundreds of years ago, it would be big news again.
"Oh, I forgot to mention just now that this technology has been re-created after years of exploration. So I can create the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl again." Qian Linya said, "I think there are few such tea bowls in my country now. Because this tea bowl is too beautiful and not easy to match with the environment, it actually has no use. Today, this type of tea will be more lively, so I took it out to liven up the atmosphere."
host:"……"
Misaki Misaki's sister pointed at the stage: "Sister, what are he talking about? Why are your expression so strange? Why are you twisting around?"
Misaki Misaki pinched her fleshy hand, and her lips were bitten white by herself: "He is just pretending...."
She has one idea now: Hey! He pretended to be there again!
But why... Misaki Misaki blushed and squeezed his thigh hard.
This is the first time... her body actually reacted.
Ikeda's expression trembled. He forced himself to calm down. He asked for a microphone from the host and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Qianlinya, I also know that the reason why it is so expensive is because it embodies history. Your tea bowl should not be that expensive, right?"
Qian Linya glanced at him.
Ikeda Ikeda has not yet admitted his failure.
"It's not that expensive," he said.
"So, so when you mention the story of Inaba Yoshi's purpose of changing the sky, are you raising the price of your own tea bowl?" Ikeda Ikeda said with a fierce expression.
The host was stunned.
Is this a tear up again?
