Mitsuya Seizaemon Zanjitsuroku - Sanjyu Nen Buri no Saikai -

[Machine Translation] Shuhei Fujisawa's masterpiece novel is adapted into the new Shuhei Fujisawa drama series "Sanya Seizaemon Zanbiroku" starring Kinya Kitaoji. The first film was based on a family disturbance in a small clan in the Tohoku region, and the second film, "Sanya Seizaemon Sankihen", which depicted its conclusion, was highly acclaimed. The second film, "Sanya Seizaemon Sangen", which was the conclusion of the first film, was a great success. Sanya Seizaemon Zanjiroku: The Last Days of Sanya, Thirty Years Ago" is now a reality! This film is a collection of episodes from the original work that could not be depicted in the first two films, and is chronologically positioned between the first and second films. It delicately and vividly depicts memories of people Seizaemon has met again after many years, including old acquaintances and their personal relationships, at a time when political strife in the clan was becoming increasingly tense. Another "Zanjiroku" is filled with the love for humanity that only Shuhei Fujisawa could create, and has a different flavor from the previous two works. --In "Zanjiroku", Seizaemon's interaction with his old friends and their individual circumstances and ways of life are depicted with sensitivity and vividness. What is going through Seizaemon's mind? Seizaemon takes up river fishing as a way of solace from his retirement. Moved by the words of Gentayu Yasutomi, a fishing friend and former fellow student of Nakane Dojo, he gathers together with his fellow Dojo members, including his close friend Kumata Saeki, a magistrate, and Sohei Konuma, to renew old friendships for the first time in 30 years. Seizaemon spends a pleasant evening reminiscing about his youth, but... One day, Matsue, who had taken care of Seizaemon when he was in Edo for some reason, comes to visit him at his mansion. Seizaemon is pleased to hear that she has been offered a marriage in the country, but he is worried when he he hears some unfavorable rumors about the family he is marrying into. Furthermore, Seizaemon is asked by Yasaburo Nakane, the owner of a dojo, to be a witness at a certain fight. Seizaemon is feeling old, but he keeps busy with his old friends. He writes nightly in "Zanbiroku" about his inner thoughts... While a major event is about to occur that will shake the clan, a peaceful time is quietly passing around Seizaemon.
