" 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 the 21st episode, Tsutaju (Yokohama) finds out that the nishikie prints he created with Utamaro (Sometani Shota) aren't selling, but when he finds out that the blue book written by Masanori (Shunsuke Kazama) is selling well, he feels the disparity in power between him and the established bookstore.
Meanwhile, Nanpo (Kenta Kiritani) appears with his fellow kyoka poets at Tsuchiyama's (Shuntaro Yanagi) cherry blossom viewing party. Tsutaju sees a man who looks like Ichi (Hio Miyazawa) in disguise. Meanwhile, Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) tells Ieharu (Hidekazu Mashima) that he is considering ceding Ezo to the shogunate... and so the story unfolds.
