A new interpretation of Yamamoto Shuguro’s period novel , transplanting the Edo era in the original with a modern setting. A young carpenter, Shigeji, who lost his parents and his father’s building company called Daitome in a fire, swears to himself he will rebuild the company according to the words of his father, Tomezoh, “What is important for people throughout the ages is humanity and strength of will.” He hires Ritsu, who has no place to go, as an assistant at Daitome. Some children from an orphanage, who lost their home, also show up at Daitome. The beaded young carpenter’s decision to take over his family’s business is a drama filled with the milk of human kindness. (Source: MU)
