The 31st episode, "My Name is Heaven," of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sundays at 8 PM and other times), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , will air on August 17th. The preview shows phrases such as "longing for heaven" and "taken by heaven," as well as an image of Hitotsubashi Harusame (Ikuta Toma) saying, "Heaven is watching. Who is the righteous one?"
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for her work on the highly talked-about "Drama 10: Ooku," which aired on NHK two years ago.
In episode 31, the Tone River breaks its banks in Edo, causing a major flood. Tsutaju (Yokohama) visits Fukagawa to bring rice and other items to Shinnosuke (Inowaki Kai) and Fuku (Karin Ono), concerned about them.
At a temple where food is being distributed, he meets Heizo (Nakamura Hayato) and learns that the shogunate is so busy with reconstruction measures that it is relying on the help of wealthy townspeople, rather than on relief rice. Meanwhile, at Edo Castle, Ieharu (Hidekazu Mashima) falls ill and is unable to attend the monthly thanksgiving ceremony.
While the elders are confused, Okitsugu(played by Ken Watanabe) hears a certain story from Ieharu...
