The sixth episode of the NHK BS period drama "Fuurai Cloud," starring actor Kuranosuke Sasaki, will be broadcast on March 1st. The subtitle of the episode is "The Whirlpool of the Past." It will be the first main story in a month.
"Fuurai Gumo" is a period drama based on the manga of the same name by George Akiyama. The setting is Shinagawa-shuku at the end of the Edo period. Fuurai Gumo is an eccentric man who wears a woman's kimono and has his hair tied in front of his forehead. While living his days freely with an elusive and fluffy appearance, he also gently changes people's destinies without them realizing it. This is a hymn to humanity filled with laughter and tears.
In the sixth episode, the proprietress, Orin (Noriko Nakagoshi), who is being stalked by an ex-boyfriend, asks Kumosuke/Sadahachi (Tomoya Maeno), who works at Yumeya, to pretend to be her husband.
Knowing that Sadahachi has feelings for Orin, Furaba Kumo (played by Sasaki) encourages him. Meanwhile, the new recruit Kumosuke Kumezo (played by Issey Ogata), hired by Yumeya's head clerk, Yokujiro (played by Issey Ogata), is found out to be a returning resident of the island.
Boss Shunju (Rokuhei Naomasa), who has just become a detective, suspects that Kumezo is the culprit behind a series of street murders...
