" 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 18, Tsutae (Yokohama), who is searching for the author of the blue book, compares several paintings by an artist named Kitagawa Toyoaki (Kato Toranosuke) and an idea comes to him.
She immediately visits Toyoaki, but meets a man named Sutekichi (Shota Sometani) in the tenement house. Meanwhile, Tsutaju asks Kizoji Hosei (Toshinori Omi) to write a new blue book. Kizoji is given special treatment by being allowed to stay at the brothel for several nights, and begins to write, but after a while, his writing stops... and so the story unfolds.
