Kikkokoya asks Ikkyū-san to verify whether a solid gold Kannon statue is genuine. Using two pots of equal weight filled with gold and water, Ikkyū-san devises a method to verify it. Meanwhile, the shogun gifts a massive 'demon stone' to his retainer Sasaki, but it's so large that moving it becomes a problem. How can it be transported?
