Synopsis

This drama depicts the 33-year life of Sakamoto Ryoma, a maverick hailed as a Bakumatsu miracle, through the eyes of industrialist Iwasaki Yataro. From Tosa to Edo and the world, the era surges like a torrent wherever Ryoma goes. Born nameless in Tosa, he forges the Satsuma-Choshu alliance amid turbulent times to become the driving force behind the Meiji Restoration. (C)NHK
