Shinobu, Gemstones, and the Kurata-ya Pawn Shop
Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box is a drama about gemstones and a pawn shop, created by Tomoko Ninomiya, who is also known as the creator of Nodame Cantabile. The story is set at a long-established pawn shop called Kurata-ya, in a downtown Tokyo neighborhood.
Shinobu Kurata, a young woman who works at the shop, can sense the aura hidden inside gemstones. With a single glance, she can see the true essence of the jewels brought into the shop.
Akisada Kitagami is the heir to a distinguished family and works at a high-end jewelry store. He has a close connection with Kurata-ya, as well as a past marked by a sudden separation from his family when he was a child, and a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.
From the feelings stored in each gemstone, to the many stories of the people who come to the pawn shop, to the secrets in Akisada’s past, a tale of jewels and destiny begins to move, with Shinobu and Akisada at its center.
