On the variety show "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (TV Tokyo, Tuesdays 8:54pm) hosted by entertainer Imada Koji, freelance announcer Fukuzawa Akira, and former Sakurazaka46 member Yuka Sugai that was discovered in a storehouse that had not been opened for 100 years was said to be worth a shocking amount.
The treasure is a six-panel folding screen by Kikuchi Keigetsu, a Japanese painter from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture. The client heard that his great-grandfather purchased it for 70 yen in the early Taisho period. It had been stored in a storehouse for 100 years, but when he was cleaning out the storehouse about two years ago, he saw it for the first time and was amazed by its beauty.
The preview for the show states that "the folding screen that has been sleeping in a storehouse unopened for 100 years is a masterpiece by a master of Japanese painting." What will the appraisal result be...?
