I am amazed and intrigued by the ingenuity and ingenuity of Tsutae, who has come from Yoshiwara, but we are also struggling to survive. I would like to portray the role of an Edo local book wholesaler well. There are many scenes, such as meeting scenes, which we film with large groups of people, so I am very much looking forward to meeting my co-stars."
" 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.
