Synopsis
In this drama set in the famine-stricken Satake domain in Ugo, Akita, a covert struggle emerges over a hidden silver mine. The protagonist, Kyōshirō, played by Tamura Masakazu, is hired to investigate the domain's internal affairs. He encounters Tomoe (Minamino Yōko), a sickly courtesan, and decides to free her, but she dies during a conflict. Tomoe's death leaves Kyōshirō with a foreign silver coin crucial to the domain's fate, a relic from her father. Kyōshirō then meets Nanakusa Kikusaemon (Tsugawa Masahiko), the domain's surveillance officer, who asks Kyōshirō to take his daughter, Shizuno (also played by Minamino Yōko), to Edo. Shizuno, who strikingly resembles Tomoe, adds complexity to the story. This drama, the second in the series, is noted for its elaborate production and special effects. A poignant scene reveals Kyōshirō's backstory, contrasting with his usual stoic nature. Additionally, Takeshita Keiko impressively portrays both Kyōshirō's mother and the spy Mihoyo, enhancing the drama's appeal.
About Nemuri Kyoshiro
Nemuri Kyoshiro, the main character of Shibata Renzaburo's samurai novel series, began serialization in 1956 in Weekly Shincho as Nemuri Kyoshiro Burai Hikae This series, alongside Gomi Yasuyuki's Yagyu Bugeicho sparked a samurai boom and led to numerous adaptations in film, television, and theatre.
Kyoshiro is a complex character, blending the nihilistic swordsman archetype, originated from Kyokutei Bakin's Nanso Satomi Hakkenden, with Shibata's distinctive dandyism. Born of a Portuguese Jesuit and a Japanese woman, Kyoshiro embodies a sense of nihilism and a cold brutality, often killing without remorse. He carries the famed Musou Masamune sword, historically linked to Toyotomi Hideyori, and employs a unique sword technique known as Engetsu Sappo As noted by film critic Sato Tadao, this series breaks from traditional Kabuki, where romantic roles are reserved for handsome men and heroic figures typically avoid romantic entanglements, contrasting with Western ideals of chivalry.
