“Yae-no Sakura”(/Cherryblossoms of Yae ), is a popular period drama currently aired, describing biography of Yae Niijima, a “handsome woman” who made a lot of remarkable activities at the turinig point of Japan from the Edo Period to the Meiji era of modern society about 150 years ago in Aizu Fukushima. For this one year, related cultural campaign activies are being done in Aizu area. And one of the is the the service of the “Taiga Drama Museum” (http://yae-sakura.jp/dramakan)
The drama deals the information on the background of the processes of making the drama and historical and actual aspects of the life of Yae and related people and events in thsoe days, So, we can learn plenty of things about both the drama and history. I visited this facility on 23rd and found it so interesting, and feel the need to introduce it to those who are interested in the Japanese modernization processes and the popular drama, “Yae-no Sakura”
