The variety show "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (TV Tokyo, Tuesdays 8:54pm) hosted by entertainer Koji Imada, freelance announcer Akira Fukuzawa, and former Sakurazaka46 member Yuka Sugai will feature four prints by Hasui Kawase as "treasures" on September 30th.
The client was a very earnest former elementary school teacher. His prized possessions were four prints by Kawase Hasui, which he had fallen in love with at first sight when an art dealer who frequented the school showed them to him.
He was told he could pay in installments with his pay deducted, so he bought the pieces for 200,000 yen without telling his wife. Just as he finished paying, the art dealer brought three more pieces, this time for a total of 1 million yen. When he refused, he said he would make it 800,000 yen, so he bought them again in secret. He had kept his secret for nearly 30 years since then, but now he wants to come out and display them proudly.
The preview describes it as "a treasure bought by a former elementary school teacher for 1 million yen without telling his family." What will the result be?
