[Machine Translation] ( There are words that we want to convey, to be heard, and to be savored aloud. And there is a heart that is most needed now. ) The drama "Gin Nikan" will start on April 10, 2014 in NHK's "Thursday Period Drama" slot. Based on the masterpiece historical novel of the same title by Iku Takada, known for her "Mei Tsukushi Ryori Cho" series, which was selected as the first winner of the "Osaka Book One Project," a project to select "books that booksellers and wholesale stores in Osaka should really read. This booklet introduces the highlights of the novel, as well as the hearts, words, and thoughts that are "relevant today" or "important precisely because it is today" as depicted in the drama and the original story. Special Appendix 1: "Golden Words" sticker - A heart-inspiring and heartwarming line - 2: Tenma, Tanimachi, Kitahama... A walk through the world of "Gin Nikan" - A special map of Osaka's past and present - / ("Gin Nikan" - A thorough introduction to a story filled with warmth and emotion - ) The time is the Edo period. The time is the Edo period. The setting is the merchant town of Osaka Tenma. A boy loses his father in a revenge attack and is about to be killed himself when he is saved by Wasuke, the owner of an agar wholesaler, Ikawaya, who happens to be there with two pieces of silver. The two pieces of silver used to save Matsukichi's life were important money that he had collected to rebuild Tenmangu Shrine, which had been destroyed in a huge fire. Matsukichi, who had become a "merchant's apprentice" instead of a "samurai's son," underwent rigorous training and discipline as a merchant, which was sometimes hard on him. However, at the end of one year, another big fire broke out.... The days surrounding the curtain of a small agar wholesaler. This humanistic period drama depicts various incidents and Matsukichi's growth with tears and plenty of laughter, including his fleeting romance with Maho, the daughter of a restaurant owner who is a client of Matsukichi. The miraculous events that occur between Matsukichi and Maho at the climax of the film, and the moments when the lives of various people intersect behind the scenes, cannot be described without tears! We will thoroughly navigate through the world of this moving story. (Thoughts on "Gin Nikan"... Long interview with the cast and crew and the original author, Kaoru Takada) The film features the most talented young actors and veterans with an overwhelming presence, as well as an elite lineup of staff members. We asked them directly about the highlights of the film and their thoughts on the film! We also have a long interview with the original author, Iku Takada, which is well worth reading. The interview is full of messages and episodes that will fill your heart with joy just by reading them. The merchants and craftsmen who appear in the play, despite repeated fires, natural disasters, and other incidents... never rotten (and sometimes with laughter), they rise to the occasion with all the strength they can muster. They rise to the occasion with all the strength they can muster. What kind of aspirations and thoughts lie at the root of their actions? The lines and customs of the merchants in the drama and the original story are full of "important things" that are common in any age. The drama and the original story are full of "important things" that are common to all ages. The main character Matsukichi works for an agar wholesaler. Cuisines and foods made from agar appear in the drama. The "Mr. Takada's World," which is also known in the "Mei Tsukushi Ryori-cho" series, is the same in this work, and these dishes will make you hungry just by looking at or reading about them. The agar is a nutritious and fiber-rich ingredient, and after the series airs, there is no doubt that the agar boom will be here! The recipes for the dishes made with agar are as tasty to the eyes as they are to the tongue and the body. We also closely follow the production of agar in extremely cold weather. The story of Matsukichi and the other characters is sure to move you even more as you learn about their hardships and suffering. The voices of the bookstore clerks in Osaka who selected the books for the first "Osaka Book One Project" and recommended them at bookstores are specially interviewed. The reason why this work was selected is because it is filled with important things that are taken for granted (not only in business, but in life as well), but are sometimes forgotten. The voices of the "modern merchants (Akindo)" are also hot! (Please look forward to the special MAP of "Gin Nikan" walking tour! ) If you walk around the Tenma area, where the play takes place, you will find many wonderful places and stores that remind you of the atmosphere of those days! The book introduces many such spots. In addition, as an appendix, we have produced a special map that allows you to enjoy a superimposition of the streetscape of those days and the streets of today. You can recall the lives of people in the Edo period and experience the place where Matsukichi and Maho met, and the place where Wassuke and Zenjiro walked. With this one book, you can enjoy both Osaka, which was said to be the "kitchen of the nation," and modern Osaka... Now, let's go on a time trip together! (Some contents are subject to change)
