Okayama plays Kurahashi Itaru (Koikawa Harumachi), a samurai serving the Suruga Kojima Clan. He is a comic book writer who is skilled in both illustrations and writing. His novel "Kaneka Sensei Eika Yume" published by Urokogataya became a huge hit, and became the forerunner of the yellow-covered books that followed. He meets Tsutaju (Yokohama), a newcomer to the bookstore, through his friend, Houseido Kisanji (Omi Toshinori).
Although he and Tsutae produced one work after another, their work "Omu Kaeri Bunbu Ni Do," published at a time of change, caught the eye of the shogunate, leading to an unexpected situation...
" 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, who is known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
