" 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.
In episode 16, the case of Iemoto's (Tomoya Oku) sudden death comes to a close without any solid evidence being obtained.
When Okitsugu (Ken Watanabe) tells Gennai (Ken Yasuda) that he will refrain from prying any further, Gennai becomes furious. Meanwhile, Tsutaju (Yokohama) visits Gennai's mansion, known as the "house of misfortune," and asks him to write a new play for the New Year, but is concerned by his occasional strange behavior.
Just then, Tsutaju and Okitsugu receive news that "Gennai has killed someone"... and so the story unfolds.
