	Rich Chinese bring  antiques back home from Japan TOKYO -- The excitement was   palpable at the Hongo Antique  Gallery in the capital as some  400 prospective buyers from  China  eagerly waited for bidding to  begin on a treasure from their homeland. The prize, a hanging scroll of  bamboo by late-Qing-era painter  and calligrapher Wu Changshuo, ultimately sold for  around $92,000. A growing number of affluent  Chinese are flocking to Japan  to reclaim antiques and vintage  books brought here decades  ago from China, often  outbidding the pack at auction  houses to do so.
