Uchii Tatsuo looked at him in surprise, then sat back down and smiled, saying, "Yes, it is indeed the 'Okinoshima Four Scrolls' that were lost when Edo was opened. It's certainly fortunate that they can see the light of day again."
Nanahara Takeshi closely examined the photo and nodded slightly, "That explains why Itose Han's paintings suddenly appeared in Hirarano." Then, looking up with interest, he asked, "It seems Uchii-san was the lucky one to find them, could you tell us how you found them?"
Uchii Tatsuo smiled without speaking, clearly not wishing to discuss it, and Nanahara Takeshi didn't mind, turning his attention back to the photo.
