I have seen 4 episodes of Kamakura dono:
Koike Eiko is ok as Hojo Masako but Masako was so influential that I always have the really strong portrayal from Iwashita Shima from Kusa Moeru in mind.

This years taiga "Kamakura dono no 13 nin" had a first episode rating of 17.3. Since that is usually one of the highest rated episodes it doesn't look like this one will break any records. |
