这是NHK的第8部大河剧。以宽永11年，仙台藩发生的伊达骚乱为题材，描述了为保伊达62万石全家安宁而牺牲的家臣原田甲斐在苦恼与孤独中始终坚持信念的故事。与主人公演对手戏的吉永小百合与栗原小卷，在男性观众中的人气不分上下。

In the movies of those times, you can see young boys in the company scene often. Those boys were called kyuji (給仕), which means “waiter” literally. They are doing odd jobs in the company including serving tea, ushering visitors, buying tobacco, etc. Ordering lunch for the individual requests was also an important job. Those boys were hired often as soon as they graduated from elementary school.

Japanese film from 1932.
