[69 Book Bar - www.] For example, in Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Harajuku, Aoyama, Tama and other places, there are many large and small antique markets to visit. In addition, there are Tokyo Heishima Antique Festival, Tokyo Oedo Antique Festival, etc. every year.

Larger antique buying and selling activities.

At that time, because the antique market was very prosperous, you could often find some high-quality and cheap porcelain. For example, the price of a Longquan plate from the early Ming Dynasty was only about a few hundred yuan. But later, with the economic decline, some antique markets began to gradually disappear, such as Ikebukuro East.

Kou Antique City, Ochanomizu

Antique Town, Aoyama Sanchome and Meguro Antique Town. These antique towns were originally small in scale and were maintained by many small shops. They usually only occupied one or two floors of a building, and the number of shops ranged from dozens to hundreds.

The family didn't wait, and eventually it couldn't be maintained and disappeared.

As we all know, the Japanese like antiquity and advocate the tea ceremony, so in the antique market, there are relatively many tea bowls built in the Jizhou Kiln of China. Occasionally, you will also encounter ancient tea cups that are sold by some famous families for some reason.

Most of them are exquisitely packaged and expensive. In addition, Wanli Wucai and Jun kiln are also common Chinese porcelain in the Japanese collection market, while official kiln wares are relatively rare.

With the rise of Chinese collecting craze, many Chinese people traveled across the ocean to Japan to search for treasures, which brought many antique markets back to life, but prices also began to soar. Five or six years ago, some Longquan kilns from the early Ming Dynasty could often be seen in the market.

The blue and white and multicolored paintings of the late Ming Dynasty are now missing. As soon as they show up, they will be snapped up immediately. A Longquan plate originally worth less than 20,000 yen can now easily exceed 100,000 yen, and even sell for 20,000 yen.

One hundred thousand yen is hard for ordinary collectors to accept.

Of course, there will be fakes in any antique market, and Japan is no exception. Especially when Chinese people come to Japan to search for treasures. Many people don’t understand Japanese, so it’s much more difficult to negotiate the price. People think you are Chinese, and even more so.

It's impossible to find good things despite the sky-high prices without having an eye for excellence.

Hanfeng is naturally different. His vision for antiques can be said to be unparalleled now. In his opinion, Chinese antiques in foreign countries should be much more authentic than those in China. Because foreigners must have fewer experts who know how to appraise antiques than those in China.

Much more.

As for fakes, he doesn't have to worry about them. No fakes can escape his eyes.

The largest antique market in Tokyo is located in Tokyo Antique Market on Tokyo Bay.

When Hanfeng and the two beauties walked into the market, they were both shocked by the size of the market!

This market is divided into two areas: "Japanese Antiques" and "Foreign Antiques". At a glance, it seems that there are thousands of shops, and there are many people who come to see them, including Japanese and foreigners.

There were quite a few Japanese housewives in the crowd, a buying force that cannot be ignored. They are fond of antique jewelry and buy sets of lacquerware and porcelain tableware. It is said that Japanese families are proud of serving ancient tableware to entertain guests.

Not ashamed of secondhand goods.

Hanfeng didn't go to the antiques section. He was not interested in Japanese antiques, so he went to the foreign antiques section.

The amount of Chinese cultural relics lost overseas is astonishing. First, a large number were plundered by the Eight-Power Allied Forces during the Opium War, and then an even larger batch was plundered during the Japanese invasion of China! So as far as a single country is concerned, countries with Chinese cultural relics

Among them, Japan has the largest number. According to preliminary estimates, the number of cultural relics stolen by Japan is no less than 500,000!

Nowadays, this foreign antique area is very large, and more than 90% of it sells Chinese antiques. This shows that the chance of finding good things in Japan is quite high.

Han Feng looked at the dazzling array of various antiques while quickly identifying them. His super power is getting stronger and stronger now. No matter which antique it is, as long as he looks at it, he will put aperture and text prompts on the image in his mind.

, so he doesn’t need to hold it in his hand and look at it carefully.

Looking along the way, there are indeed some ancient Chinese porcelains, but based on the prices marked on them, there is no room for appreciation, so Hanfeng is not interested in these things.

When the three of them turned a corner and passed the third shop, Han Feng swept around quickly and walked over. But after he passed two shops, he suddenly stopped and said to the two beauties:

"Let's go back and check out that store, haha"

Imai Miu said puzzledly: "You are really strange. When people look at antiques, they go in and look at them slowly. It's not like you go shopping. Can you see good things when you look at antiques like this?"

Chie Ueno also echoed: "Yes, I see, he just wants to come here to see beautiful women, huh."

Hanfeng laughed dumbly, stopped and looked at the two beauties in front of him. He suddenly stretched out his hands to twist their little noses and said: "Aren't you the beauties? Look at the women in the market here who are all aunties. Where do these beauties come from?

Yeah? Hehehe”

The two beauties were pinched and praised. They were so happy that they hugged Hanfeng with one arm and started beating her. The people next to them were surprised when they saw it. The man was even more envious. He said to himself that this boy's beauty is really quite good. The two of them were very happy.

How dare such a beautiful woman dare to tease him in public, it's really a shame!

The three of them were joking and walked into the store. The store sold a lot of miscellaneous things. The shelves on the east side were filled with large and small Buddha statues. The big ones were more than one meter high and the small ones were only as big as a child's fist. The shelves on the north side were filled with statues of Buddha.

It's porcelain, because the store is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The porcelain on the north side covers the entire wall, which is very rich; on the west side, there are no shelves, just some old-style furniture; on the south side is the door of the store.

After Hanfeng walked in, he first looked at the Buddha statues on the east side, walked around, and took down a Maitreya Buddha about 30 centimeters high. The sign on it read: Maitreya Buddha Statue of the Yuan Dynasty of China, price: 10

Thousands of yen.

According to the current exchange rate, 100,000 yen converted into RMB is just over 6,000 yuan. A Buddha statue from the Yuan Dynasty is not only not expensive, but also very cheap. However, Hanfeng thinks it is very expensive because this Buddha statue is modern.

The imitations have very obvious signs of wear and tear. I don’t know if the Japanese was deceived by the Chinese, or if he deliberately bought fakes to deceive people.

It is obvious that anyone who sells Chinese antiques comes to China to purchase their goods.

There were few customers in this shop. The shop owner was a fat woman in her fifties. She came over when she saw Han Feng taking down the Buddha statue to look at it.

Han Feng looked around and asked the woman: "Boss, can this Buddha statue be cheaper?"

When the fat woman saw that she was from China, she said: "It can't be cheaper. You can never buy it at this price in China."

Hanfeng deliberately put the Buddha statue back pretending to be reluctant to leave it, and then walked to the place where the porcelain was placed to look carefully.

There are many types of porcelain here, with various shapes, including Yuan blue and white tangled branches, but unfortunately they are all imitations.

Hanfeng saw that there were no other good things, so he pretended to be casual and took down a lonely black tea bowl from the second row of shelves, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.

This bowl is entirely black, except for the base of the bowl, which is white. It is very rough and has an ordinary shape. There is nothing special about it. The mouth of the bowl is 20 centimeters in diameter and 12 centimeters high. The entire bowl is covered with shiny black glaze.

Not impressive at all.

This kind of tea bowl from the Song Dynasty is very common. It was used by Song people to fight tea in their spare time. It was not something from an official kiln. Even if it was genuine, it would only cost a few thousand yuan. Not to mention that the appearance of this tea bowl is not as good as the real thing.

There is still a long way to go. Of course, this requires an expert to identify it.

The brand of this tea bowl reads: Song Dynasty Black Glaze Tea Bowl, price: 50,000 yen.

Although Han Feng tried his best to stay calm, his hands holding the black tea bowl were still shaking a little. He might have been worried about accidentally dropping and breaking the tea bowl, so he held it with both hands and held the edge of the bowl tightly with his fingers!

When he saw that it was only 50,000 yen, he didn't even pay back the price. He said to Imai Miu who was looking at him strangely: "Miu, go and pay the money. I want this bowl."

Imai Miu didn't ask any questions. Without hesitation, she opened her bag and took out her wallet. She took out five 10,000 yen bills and handed them to the fat woman.

When the fat woman saw that the young man actually bought it without bargaining this time, she felt that he was a refreshing person. She pointed at the Buddha statue just now and said, "Do you want that Buddha statue? How about I get it cheaper by a thousand yuan?"

In fact, Hanfeng would not let go of that Buddha statue. Even if it cost 200,000 yen, he would still buy it. Now when he saw the fat woman reduced the price by 1,000 yen, he said, "I'll take it if you make it 4,000 yen cheaper."

The fat woman wanted to shake her head and refuse at first, but when she saw Hanfeng's indifferent expression, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, it's only 5,000 cheaper. The deal is 95,000 yen."

This time, Imai Miu didn't have to say anything, and counted out 95,000 yen from her bag and handed it to the fat woman, making the woman beam with joy. She was very happy.

Both items were packaged in boxes, and the fat woman packaged them very skillfully, tying them firmly with packaging ropes.

After buying two things, Imai Miu made a phone call. After a while, two young men in suits came. Imai Miu handed the things to them and followed them. The three of them walked out of the store and continued walking forward.

Hanfeng was actually very excited inside, but he couldn't express it here, so he had to endure it, try his best to calm down his excitement, and continue to move forward.

After walking five or six shops, Hanfeng suddenly heard the sound of Chinese people speaking Chinese from a nearby shop. He walked in out of curiosity, followed by Imai Miu, Ueno Chie and young people carrying things.
