FAMILY FINDS 11LOST11TREASUREIN FATHER'SHOME


This beautiful wood and gold box was made in Japan in 1640. It is one of ten
boxes that were made in Kyoto by KaOini Nagashige, a well-known Japanese
artist. However, this box was thought to be lost. In fact, the Victoria and
Albert Museum in London had spent over fifty years searching for it.
Unknown to the museum, the box was just one kilometer away in a nearby
house. It was bought by a French engineer for £100 in 1970, and amazingly,
it was used as a table for his television! After he died, his family decided
to sell it, and it was identified by art experts as one of the lost Japanese
boxes from 1640. It went up for auction, and was sold to the Rijksmuseum in
Amsterdam for 7.3 million euros, making the family millionaires. ■
