"osaka mainichi shumbun"-- that's the newspaper-- "september 1st, 1923.ke' of tokyo." classic example of a painter being given something to copy and not quite understanding what the letters are. that's great. you know, this could be the blitz in london in 1940. i mean, it's absolutely the same. it's an oddity and when you get oddities, it's sometimes difficult to come up with a price. um... it's not to everybody's taste. it certainly isn't. but it is an historical document. you've got one broken cup there but the other pieces are all... it's been like this for as old as i am. a classic method of repairing something by sticking postage stamps on it. yeah, one sees that quite a lot. um... i think we're looking at probably £100 each cup and saucer, and again for each object. so that's one, two three, four, five, discount that, six, seven, eight-- £800. ( faint gasp ) i would have said £50 for the lot. it was a tremendous amount. that's all right i'll give you 50.

they need go there for at least three weeks and soak up tokyo and other cities, osaka and tokyo. there's a lot to learn, particularly about food. >> rose: one of the things that's clear about you is that you have a passion for chefs, period, and you want to see that chefs get their due and have an opportunity too spread out. if you had your druter there is would be a lot more restaurants in new york and a lot more good chefs working. >> it's too hard to do it on your own. it used to be just enough to be a good chef. and when you started out cooking i felt like i was the last -- when i started cooking i saw the last of this age of the great chef where you had to be the greatest technician. now it's not like this that anymore because once you became the greatest technician you didn't have the ability to open up your own restaurant anymore. and things started to change. in the '90s there were five or six restaurants where if you wanted to learn about cooking you had to work there and now that's not the case anymore i have just the utmost respect for the old school, the tradition, th
