Take (100 Yen Love) directs this caper comedy about an underdog antiques appraiser who, after being tricked by a convincing forgery (and not for the first time), teams up with the forgers to make an exceptionally ambitious forgery himself: the supposed last teacup of Sen No Rikyu, one of the most influential figures in the history of the Japanese tea ceremony.
