[Novel] NHK TV Taiga Drama "Berabo" Tsuta-Ju Eiga no Yumebanashi 4

[Machine Translation] Tsutajige is sentenced to half of his salary, but he devises a plan to revive his fortunes. The fourth volume of the novelization of the historical drama "BERUBO - Tsutashige Eika No Yume Banashi", which depicts the life of Shigsaburo Tsutaya, the media king of Edo, who became the darling of the times. The three works of "Kyo-kon no yomihon" written by SANDO Kyoden are out of print, and Tsutaya Shigesaburo and Kyoden are subjected to strict scrutiny at the Kodenma-cho prison mansion. Tsutaya Shigesaburo and Kyoden were subjected to severe scrutiny at the Kodenmacho prison house. Tsutashige did not change his opinion and played a grand joke on Sadanobu, who was in charge of the interrogation. Tsutae meets Shibano Kuriyama and claims that he published the book in order to save the harsh conditions of the female prostitute. Tsutashige is sentenced to half of his income, and his property, yellow cover, and curtains are all stripped of exactly half of their value. SANDO Kyoden submits mysteriously to the hand-chain sentence, but Kosho-Do is marketed under the name of "a store with half its value reduced" and gains popularity. Takizawa Takayoshi (later Kyokutei Bakin), who had lost his place of residence due to the flooding of the Fukagawa River, moved in, and together with Katsugawa Haruro (later Katsushika Hokusai), they published "Jitsugo Kyoji Kodomo Koshaku" ("A Lecture on the Real Language and Childhood Education"). Meanwhile, Utamaro is devastated by the death of his beloved Kiyo. Tsutajige came up with the idea of an ukiyoe series of large neck paintings of women, based on the last picture he had drawn of Kiyo. This is an unprecedented Ukiyoe that depicts a woman's inner thoughts and feelings.
