The fourth episode of NHK's period drama " Akinaiseiden Kin to Gin 2," starring actress Fuka Koshiba , will be broadcast on January 11th in the "Special Selection! Period Drama" slot (General, Sundays at 6:10 AM).
The subtitle of the episode is "The Seventh Generation Owner." The people of Gosuzuya endure the grief of losing their owner and continue to devote themselves to their business. Yui (Nagasawa Itsuki) is annoyed at Sachi (Koshiba), who devote herself to business without shedding a tear, wondering what to do about the successor, saying, "Doesn't your sister have a heart?!"
While fellow kimono merchants urge him to quickly decide on a successor, Sachi declares, "I will be the seventh generation." In Osaka, where women's names are prohibited and it is forbidden to become a store owner or landlord, Sachi also stands up for the women who may be next in line...
" Akinaiseiden Kin to Gin" is set in the mid-Edo period and depicts the hard work and ingenuity of ordinary people as they make their businesses successful, while incorporating a variety of customs. Season 1, which aired in 2023, follows the protagonist Sachi as she marries Tomozo, the sixth-generation owner of Gosuzuya, and how they begin selling "Hamahabutae" silk from New Year's as a desperate attempt to revive the struggling Gosuzuya.
In Season 2, while increasing Gosuzuya's wealth, she experiences the death of her beloved... She becomes the seventh female owner in Osaka, where women's names are prohibited, opens a store in Edo, and builds the foundation of Gosuzuya's Edo store with her eccentric ideas and the bonds she forms with her colleagues.
