Karasawa Toshiaki will be starring in the NHK drama "Made In Japan" which begins its run on 26 January at 9pm on Saturdays and consists of three episodes. The drama which is a memorial production to mark the 60th anniversary of TV broadcasting, is written by Inoue Yumiko who last worked with Karasawa in the hit drama "Shiroi Kyoto" 10 years ago.
