Denshichi Torimonocho

TV series

Starring Umenosuke Nakamura

Nakamura Umenosuke plays Denshichi of Kuromon-cho, Edo's most trusted courtier. Denshichi of Kuromon-cho is the most trusted official in Edo, who has received "Shibo no Jute" from Kita-machi Magistrate Saemon Lieutenant Toyama. This is an orthodox, yet catchy story that makes the most of Umenosuke's personality and weaves in the humanity of the common people of Edo. The two-finger hand clasp after the case is solved and Denshichi's call of "Congratulations" became the talk of the town.
