Atsuhime.

Today, there was the final of my favorite TV drama, Atsuhime.

I was sad and I already miss Atsuhime.

What I like most of this drama is the opening title.

Atsuhime in golden peices (1:00) is so beautiful, and the emotional music fills my heart with warmth. I actually came near crying every week.

The scene reminds me of Klimt's The Kiss.

The difference is that Atsuhime is alone and looks firm.

Atsuhime loses her hasband and becomes alone. But after that, she never gives in to the sorrow, and decides to live firmly to succeed her hasband's will, to keep Tokugawa family. And as the episode of several weeks ago shows, her hasband's spirit is still keeping his eyes on her.

Atsuhime held in the golden pieces makes me think that even though she looks alone in the scene, she is held by him.
