The seventh episode of NHK's period drama "Akinai Seiden Gold and Silver 2," starring actress Fuka Koshiba, will be broadcast on February 1st in the "Special Selection! Period Drama" slot (General, Sundays at 6:10 AM).
The subtitle of the episode is "Suzu's Komon." Sachi (Koshiba) sends Kensuke (Sakuma Yu) to Shirako, the home of Ise stencil paper, to create Suzu's Komon. Meanwhile, Tetsusuke (Yashima Tomohito) reports that his kimono-making friends in Tenma are encouraging women to extend their names. This is thanks to Soji (Kato Shigeaki) being in Edo.
A few months later, the stencil arrives and Sachi asks Osai's (Nahana) husband, Rikizo (Ikeda Tsutomu), to dye it, but for some reason he refuses. At that time, Nakamura Tomigorō (Kataoka Sennosuke), the best female impersonator and kabuki actor of the time, comes to Gosuzuya.
"Akinai Seiden: Gold and Silver" 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.
