The third episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , "A Thousand Visitors: A Thousand Books at a Glance," will be broadcast on January 19th. Even after Tsutaju (Yokohama) reforms Yoshiwara Hosomi, he continues to raise funds from the prostitutes and rushes around to create new books.
Surugaya ( Katsumi Takahashi) is furious and cannot forgive Tsutaju for this, so he kicks him out of his house. Tsutaju, however, refuses to give up on making books, so he visits the artist Kitao Shigemasa (Atsushi Hashimoto). Meanwhile, in Edo Castle, Tanuma Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) is consulting with Shogun Ieharu (Kokoro Terada Terada) back to the Shirakawa Matsudaira family for adoption, which had once been cancelled...
The trailer also shows the words, "Tsutajyo's thin figure is the talk of the town."
"UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
