The variety show "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (TV Tokyo, Tuesdays at 8:54 PM), hosted by talent Koji Imada, freelance announcer Akira Fukuzawa, and former Sakurazaka46 member Yuka Sugai, will feature a prized pink coral that was purchased for 2 million yen on May 19th.
The treasure was left behind by my aunt, who passed away three years ago at the age of 103. She bought it for 2 million yen at an exhibition about 41 years ago. My aunt wasn't particularly fond of antiques, but she had a personality that couldn't refuse requests, so she bought all sorts of things, including pottery, and this coral was one of them.
The client inherited all these antiques from his aunt about 20 years ago. He says he thinks this coral is particularly amazing. In the preview, Imada jokingly asks, "Is that crab stick?", eliciting laughter. The guest is rakugo storyteller Hayashiya Tsuruko.
