An antiquarian in the warehouse of a wealthy family in Norio discovers a 16th-century teacup believed to have once belonged to Japan’s most famous tea master, Sen no Rikyu. Norio tricks the owner of the house, Sasuke, into buying the cup for almost nothing, but it soon becomes clear that Sasuke is just the caretaker of the house and that the cup is his own creation. After discovering that Sasuke was a promising ceramicist whose career was ruined by the same antique appraiser with whom Norio has unfinished business, the two embark on a daring plan of deception against their common enemy.
