On his way back from visiting his late wife’s grave, he encounters a young couple, Yusuke Yuki (Sato Ryuji) and his wife Hanae (Yamatani Kasumi), standing before a small tomb. Having lost his young son about a year ago, Seizaemon has been in deep grief. Tomosuke, out of consideration for Hanae, gives her a silk kimono as encouragement, and Hanae seems to have regained her strength for a while, but… Meanwhile, the domain’s land reclamation project, which had been carried out with the support of wealthy merchant Notoya (Kamikawa Takaya), is suddenly halted. News arrives that Sakaki Jinzaemon (Fujioka Hiroshi), an old friend of Saeki Kumata (Ito Shiro), who was in charge of the group, has committed seppuku. Seizaemon and Kumata are suspicious of Sakaki’s death and begin to investigate the truth. At that time, the domain issued a frugality order. This cast a dark shadow over Tomosuke and Hanae’s lives, and soon an incident occurred to the two of them. What is the sad truth that Kiyozaemon discovers? “Nichizaku Riteko Ruluni Mida Enshi” [Broadcast/distribution information] “Japanese Movies Period Dramas 4K” will premiere on TV on Sunday, December 7th at 7 PM. “J:COM STREAM” will air on Sunday, December 7th at 7 PM. “J:COM STREAM” will air on Sunday, December 7th at 7 PM.
