It tells the story of Tsutaya Juzaburo, the publisher of Japanese yellow paper paintings and Ukiyo-e paintings in the Edo period.
The story is set in the middle of the Edo period and tells the magnificent story of how Tsutashige, Tsutaya Juzaburo, who grew up in Yoshiwara, became the media king of Edo and struggled all the way to become the darling of the era.In 1773, a year and a half after the Meiwa Great Fire, which burned down Edo Castle for three consecutive days and killed more than 10,000 people, Tsutazoge was recognized for his role in the fire.He became famous among the people of Yoshiwara.
While working at the tea house, he also ran a rental bookstore.One day, Tsutashige received a request from his childhood friend, the courtesan Hanai (Koshiba Kazuka), asking him to deliver something to the former high-class J girl Asagao (Ashley Natsu).Tsutazhong came to the Jingnian River bank where Chaoyan lived and saw Chaoyan's face was haggard and his body was extremely weak.Tsuta Shige witnessed the miserable condition of the prostitutes working in Yoshiwara, and felt very painful and troubled.
Tsutaya Juzaburo (Yokohama Ryusei) came up with a plan to attract customers through Yoshihara's guide - Yoshihara Hosomi.
In order to commission the writing of the preface, I traveled around to find the celebrity Hiraga Gennai (Yasuda Akira) in Edo!
