Choshichiro Edo Nikki (長七郎江戸日記) (Choshichiro's Edo Diaries) was a long-running prime-time television series in Japan. The title character was Matsudaira Choshichiro Nagayori,[1] the son of Tokugawa Tadanaga. The premise of the show focuses on Tadanaga's death as a result of an alleged plot to overthrow his elder brother, the third shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Choshichiro lives among the commoners in the shogunal capital city of Edo. Kōtarō Satomi portrayed Choshichiro throughout the series.[2]

Plot

[edit]

During the reign of the third shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu, an exalted personage who was his nephew disobeyed the shōgun's wish and left shogunate services. His name was Choshichiro Nagayori Matsudaira. He was the son of Tadanaga Tokugawa, Suruga's chief councilor who lost his life vying for the shōgun's position with Iemitsu.

Broadcast

[edit]

The show ran from 1983 to 1991 on the Nippon Television network. It occupied the Tuesday evening 8:00–8:54 time slot.

The first series began on October 18, 1983 and continued to December 23, 1986. It consisted of 125 episodes. The second series, 68 episodes long, ran from January 5, 1988 to September 26, 1989. The third (and last) series consisted of 40 episodes broadcast between October 16, 1990 and September 24, 1991.

Affiliates of the Nippon Television network have regularly rebroadcast the show. Most recently, the Jidaigeki Senmon Channel has carried the series on the Sky Perfect satellite. Some other stations also include it on their daytime schedules.

Selected episodes are available in boxed sets of DVDs.

It airs subtitled in Hawaii on Nippon Golden Network.[3]
