◇The following contains spoilers
" 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.
At the 30th event, the yellow-covered "Edo Nama Tsuyaki Kabayaki" sold well, and Koshodo in Nihonbashi was the biggest success since its opening.
Tsutaju (Yokohama) is working on a Kyoka picture book, a collaboration between a Kyoka poet and an illustrator, and has decided that now is the time to hire Utamaro (Shota Sometani), who is beginning to be rumored to be a "Utamaro impersonator." Later, Tsutaju makes a new request to draw "a picture unique to Utamaro," but Utamaro struggles with how to draw it... Meanwhile, Matsudaira Sadanobu (Yuki Inoue) receives an invitation from Harumasa (Toma Ikuta) to participate in government affairs... and so the story unfolds.
