About this challenge
On a Tokyo wharf, Gallery Fake sells replicas at the counter and keeps, in the back room, the canvas the Met already wrote off. Reiji Fujita — the former curator New York still calls Professor — offers two thousand for a twenty-million Van Gogh when the paint is a lie, then bids thirty million on a Monet haystack because that summer morning is the real one.
Sara Halifa comes from Kerabia with a burned arm and the Sunflowers her family lost to war. Sayoko Mitamura runs Takada Museum and treats Fujita as a blight on the trade. Fei Cui swaps the Hope Diamond en route from the Smithsonian and drags the wharf into Jade. A guess checks trade, group, country, the circuit between market, museum and underworld, the kind of work each person handles, and the 2005 TV episode where the face first appears. The debut number moves up or down; group and circuit can hit only in part.
