Kaze, Kaoru: NHK drama explores the life of nurse pioneer Kazu Ozeki
The NHK morning drama ‘Kaze, Kaoru’ continues to develop its narrative centered on the lives of nurses during the Meiji era. The series is inspired by the real-life figure Kazu Ozeki, a pioneer in nursing whose personal life was marked by significant challenges, including failed attempts at remarriage due to social opposition.
In recent episodes, the character Tae, played by Erika Ikuta, has reappeared as a nursing supervisor. Having fulfilled her previous ambition to advance in the profession without marrying, she is now preparing to serve as a specialized nurse at an army hospital in Hiroshima. Meanwhile, the protagonists Rin and Naomi face new tensions following a letter from Tae regarding the escalating military situation.
