The 46th episode, "The Soga Festival Incident," of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sundays at 8 PM and other times), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , will be broadcast on November 30th. The preview shows phrases such as "Sharaku finally comes out to the world" and "The revelry of the festival deceives Edo," as well as scenes of Osaki (Emi Kurara) pleading for forgiveness and Hitotsubashi Harusame (Ikuta Toma) "contacting" Tsutaju (Yokohama).
" 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 episode 46, Tsutaju is at a dead end, unable to complete a satisfactory actor portrait. Meanwhile, Tsutaju and Utamaro (AI Hashimoto Sometani) express their desire to see a painting that only the two of them could create. Driven by this desire, Utamaro returns to Koshodo.
Later, the actor paintings are completed, and Tsutaju begins selling them under the name of painter Toshusai Sharaku to coincide with the Kabuki performance. Rumors of Sharaku gradually spread throughout Edo city and Edo Castle... There are three episodes remaining in the drama, including this one.
