" 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 26th episode, the price of rice doubled from last year due to a poor rice harvest caused by a cool summer. The number of servants also increased, and at Koshodo, where playwrights gathered, rice was quickly decreasing, and Tsutaju (Yokohama-san) was also having a hard time.
Then Tsuyo (Saki Takaoka), Tsutaju's real mother, comes to the store and tries to stay there as a hairdresser. Meanwhile, in Edo Castle, Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) takes measures to deal with the soaring rice prices, but they do not go down. The situation escalates to the point where Tokugawa Harusada(Hideki Takahashi) of the Kishu Tokugawa family, who is fed up with the shogunate's poor performance, issues a warning to the shogunate.
