" 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.
In the 34th episode, Sadanobu (Inoue Yuki), who has been promoted to the position of chief senior councilor, advocates frugality and begins to impose strict control.
Meanwhile, Tsutaju (Yokohama) calls on Kyoka poets to create a spectacular Kyoka picture book. However, Nanpo (Kenta Kiritani) appears and declares that he is giving up his pen. Nanpo is in danger of being punished for creating a Kyoka satirizing Sadanobu.
As the world atmosphere created by Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) is completely transformed by Sadanobu's policies, Tsutae visits Okitsugu's mansion with a certain resolve to resist the current of the world...and so the story unfolds.
