133

Ms. Kinue Tabata has to cancel the reception for her wedding to Mr. Arakawa after Arakawa has to pay an old friend's large debt. Meanwhile, wealthy art collector Sataka sees one of a set of carved wooden three wise monkeys in a photo of a ceramic vase taken by Arakawa and owned by the notoriously difficult collector, Hoichi Matsumori. Sataka owns the other two figures and offers whatever it takes to obtain the third one. Arakawa, along with Yamaoka and Kurita approach Matsumori who agrees the three pieces should be united, but only on the condition that he and Sataka have dinner together. If he finds that Sataka is not a worthy person, he threatens to burn the piece. Yamaoka agrees to plan the meal, and gives Sataka a crash course in food preparation. On the evening of the dinner, Sataka prepares the food for Matsumori, consisting of simple rice balls done in different ways with selected fillings, disarming Matsumori who is prepared for a contest. Matsumori realizes that Sataka has recreated the Monkey-Crab Battle and willingly agrees to give the monkey figure to Sataka for his effort. (Source: Wikipedia)
