WE MAKE ANTIQUES! OSAKA DREAMS, Canadian Premiere, TORONTO JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL

Japan’s favourite fine-arts conmen – antique dealer Norio and potter Sasuke – are back so get ready to laugh! Legend tells us there is a set of seven lucky charms that encouraged the success of Hideyoshi, the 16th century ruler of Japan in Osaka. Norio is asked to find the last missing charm, the tea bowl named Houou. But it is also being pursued by another dubious art foundation that is making a fortune with an artist TAIKOH and his spiritual arts. Norio, Sasuke and their close-knit team of skilled forgers team up again to bring the dream treasure into reality and outwit the villains.
Nakai and Sasaki bring their great comic timing to another great yarn about the Japanese art world.
Starring Kiichi Nakai, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Shota Yasuda, Yuri Nakamura
