Treasure Hunt America

After sweeping through this exhibition room full of various treasured knives, Jin Muchen was quite satisfied and felt that this trip was not allowed.

The Japanese swords that I harvested this time made Jin Muchen feel very satisfied. You must know that Japan's five famous swords in the world, and now he has two in his pocket. If this is said in the collection world, it is definitely A very remarkable achievement.

If you add the chrysanthemum monastery that was harvested before, and the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword, you can say that you have already acquired half of the famous Japanese sword.

For such a 'collection' achievement, even the Emperor of Japan would not dare to compete with himself.

What's more, these are the treasures of the Japanese. In the future, the Japanese will not be able to see them even if they want to see them. After more than 20 years, they will spend some water in the Netherlands, and then take them to the United States and put them on display in a private museum. come out.

At that time, even the Japanese can only stare blankly, even if they know that the origin of these babies is strange, what can they do?

Anyway, such dirty things, they themselves do the same, if they dare to blame themselves, then let them clean up their butts first.

At that time, if their Japanese descendants want to see the national treasures of their own country, they must spend a ticket, fly thousands of miles to the United States, and then spend a high ticket price to enter the museum. Inside, looking at the treasures created by their ancestors, this kind of feeling may be quite uncomfortable for the Japanese, but for Jin Muchen, let alone how wonderful it is.

Having collected these Japanese knives, Jin Muchen didn't have much time to stinker, because there are more treasures here, waiting for him.

You must know that this museum is a place where Japanese national treasures are displayed. The Japanese national treasures are far more than these Japanese swords.

Just like their lacquerware, it is also a treasure that the Japanese are proud of.

In Pavilion 6 next to the Weapons Museum, there are many lacquerware that the Japanese are proud of.

Lacquerware originated in China. Moreover, according to the textual research of the unearthed cultural relics, China can be said to be the first country in the world to use lacquerware, because the earliest lacquerware discovered in China has a history of more than 7,000 years.

Of course that so-called lacquerware. But it is just a fragment of painted pottery, which is very different from the lacquerware we use now.

And the lacquer ware that really has the temperament of the originator of modern style lacquer ware is from the vermilion lacquer pottery 3400-3600 years ago, which was also unearthed in Liaoning, China.

Later, lacquerware appeared in the history of various dynasties in China. And also from ordinary to noble types.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Chinese lacquerware finally reached a peak. At that time, the lacquerware was extremely exquisite and was very popular among the dignitaries at that time.

However, later, due to the widespread use of containers made of other materials, lacquerware gradually declined in the history of Chinese literary play.

Of course, this technique of making lacquerware has also spread to Japan, and it has even been carried forward by Japanese craftsmen.

until later. Japan's lacquer ware actually came from behind, enjoying a great international reputation, even more popular than China's lacquer ware in Europe and the United States.

Today, lacquerware is not very popular in our country, but it is still popular in Japan, and the custom of using lacquerware is still there. Internationally, most of those European and American countries also know about Japanese lacquerware. But little is known about Chinese lacquerware.

It must be said that it is a sadness that we have not protected our own ancestral culture.

Jin Muchen entered the exhibition hall No. 6 and did not go anywhere else. Although there are a lot of Japanese lacquerware in this exhibition hall, many lacquer wares are not seen by Jin Muchen.

He went straight to the display cabinets in the middle of the exhibition hall, because the national treasure-level lacquerware that the Japanese were proud of were on display there. So don't waste time.

As soon as the hammer went down, the glass cover of the showcase in the middle was smashed into pieces, and the tortoiseshell, snail and flower-shaped lacquer plate inside was taken into the bag by Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen had looked at it carefully before. The workmanship of this lacquer plate was very beautiful, the shape was also very perfect, and the materials used were quite complicated, so Jin Muchen had long been interested in this lacquer plate.

Then he came to the side of the showcase, and another hammer smashed it down, and the glass cover shattered. The tortoiseshell and snail-shaped decorative box inside the showcase also fell into Jin Muchen's pocket.

With the two treasures in hand, Jin Muchen felt satisfied.

In terms of workmanship, these two boxes can be said to be flawless, and they are definitely the best of the best. In addition, they are also unique in shape, which can definitely be said to be the works of masters.

The most important thing is the producer of these two pieces of lacquerware, that is the giant panda-level lacquerware master who is a national treasure that the Japanese are now proud of, Kitamura Akizai!

This old man's status in Japan is very unusual. Don't look at people who don't come out very easily now, but if he has a new work, he can easily sell for sky-high prices.

Even Kobayashi Kobayashi, whom Jin Muchen had met before, would only bow his head in front of this Kitamura Akizhai.

You must know this old man, but he is now one of the few top craftsmen in Japan, and he is a benchmark figure in the Japanese modern art world. Although this old man is only a lacquer maker, his status in the Japanese art world is equivalent to Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Back then, he had the same status in the Chinese art world. As long as he knew his reputation, who should not give a thumbs up and convince him? !

This Kitamura Akizai was born in a lacquer art family in Japan in 1938. His grandfather was Kitamura Jiuzai. At that time, he was a famous lacquer maker in the Japanese lacquer industry. Even many lacquerware used by the imperial family were all his grandfather's works.

His father, Odori Kitamura, is not only a master of lacquer art, but also a well-known expert in the protection and restoration of cultural properties in Japan. In their hometown of Nara, he has a great reputation.

After graduating from Tokyo University of Arts, Kitamura Akisai learned how to make lacquer ware with his family. On the other hand, at the recommendation of his father, he participated in the protection and repair of cultural properties of the Nara National Museum, and has been doing it for more than 30 years.

And because of his achievements in the lacquer ware industry, he was appraised by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs as the holder of lacquer handicraft preservation technology in 1994. Such a title is basically a concept with those national-level arts and crafts masters in China, but they are all possible. receive government bonuses.

His lacquerware works, especially the "tortoise shell and snail tin pattern decorative box" that Jin Muchen "collected" before, won the Minister of Education Award at the 44th "Japanese Traditional Craft Exhibition" in 1997.

In this work, he perfectly and skillfully combined materials such as tortoiseshell, agate, and thick luotian with his skilled tortoise-painting techniques, making his work thick and with a beautiful and natural presence of the material.

His works have very obvious characteristics of Japanese artworks. The combination of inlay and Maki-e materials and craftsmanship, as well as the ingenious design and conception, show the essence and beauty of the classic Japanese boutiques of Shosoin style.

And he himself was awarded the Purple Medal by the Japanese government in 1998. In 1999, he was rated as the only holder of the intangible cultural property of snails in Japan by the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan!

And it is honored as Japan's "National Treasure" by the Japanese art world!

Such a brilliant resume, of course, is Jean's work, which is of great significance in today's art collection world, and the price is immeasurable.

The 'tortoise shell and snail pattern box' that Jin Muchen "collected" before, but it was sold at a private auction at the Tokyo National Museum. It is said that the Tokyo National Museum spent no less than 3,000 to get this decorative box Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

That was more than ten years ago, and now, if nothing else, the price of this decorative box has at least doubled just taking into account inflation.

In addition, this old man is now in his 80s and 90s. Basically, no works have come out, and maybe he will hang up one day. If he goes to see Amaterasu, then his masterpiece is the pinnacle. The value, at the very least, has to be doubled.

Therefore, Jin Muchen did not look at the room full of lacquerware, and it was enough to take only two works of this Japanese national treasure.

After walking out of this exhibition hall, Jin Muchen originally wanted to go to the next exhibition hall, because in the next exhibition hall, there are Japanese porcelains that he has been thinking about.

Although this Japanese porcelain is not comparable to our Chinese porcelain, it is still unique, especially the representative works of the period~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jin Muchen still did not intend to let it go.

But just as he turned to enter the exhibition hall dedicated to displaying porcelain, a treasure in Hall 5 suddenly caught his attention.

He couldn't help but turn back to this exhibition hall, looking at the Japanese sword hanging in the inconspicuous corner, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Jin Muchen's mouth.

This knife is really interesting. I really didn't pay much attention to this knife before, but if I like it now, I can't stop and think about it.

If this knife has a name or something, it must be comparable to the few famous Japanese knives he "collected" before, but the key is that this knife is a very interesting thing.

Although it can't be considered a top national treasure, it is still very meaningful for 'collection'!

So thinking of this, Jin Muchen no longer hesitated. He lifted the hammer and fell, the glass cover shattered in response, and then the Japanese sword inside revealed its true face. Jin Muchen stretched out his hand and pulled the sword out... continued.)
