Notes

≪The World of Hiroyuki Kurokawa Explodes!≫
A mystery film set in the world of antique art, created by Naoki Prize winning writer Hiroyuki Kurokawa based on experience from art university and 10 years experience as a high school art teacher.
There is no mercy in the world of the men that make money from imitating antique art. A story of cheating and misunderstanding between these men, set in Kansai. Learn about the world of "counterfeits" in a way not normally seen. Are "money" and "art" simply symbols for the work of people?
This film also includes new characters that don't appear in the original. They add that little bit of spice to this human drama caught up in the world of desire. One of the highlights of the film is also the more than 100 million yen worth of art that was collected for the film. So, does a "tanuki no ashi" grom from the "chagama"?
