The program features a family heirloom, a massive hanging scroll by the last literati painter, Tetsuzo Tomioka, which was purchased by the great-grandfather to decorate the alcove of his new home. The great-grandfather was a successful starch manufacturer, known as the "Starch King of North Satsuma," who contributed to the region by building and donating a library, and was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen No. 1. The family has treasured the scroll for generations, but the appraisal result is shocking. The show is hosted by Itoda Koji, Fukuzawa Akira, and Sugai Yuka, with Becky as the guest, and features a team of appraisers, including Nakajima Seinosuke, Kitahara Teruhisa, and Yasukouchi Akemi. #JapaneseArt #FamilyHeirloom #Appraisal #Antiques #JapaneseCulture #LiteratiPainter #StarchKing #NorthSatsuma
