Who is the most famous Japanese person in the world?

Perhaps the answer is Oshin, the heroine of the popular NHK morning series, which was broadcast for a year from April 1983. With the cooperation of the Japan Foundation, NHK International produced the international edition of "Oshin" for worldwide distribution and eventually "Oshin" came to be aired in 59 countries and regions.

Reports say that in China alone, as many as 200 million people watched "Oshin", while in Iran, female Japanese tourists have often been addressed as "Oshin". The Indonesian broadcaster was flooded with protests from viewers because the series was being broadcast while supper was being prepared. There is no doubt about it ; Oshin stands alone in terms of her worldwide fame.

I watched this on TV many years ago (ok decades ) and was deeply moved by it. Would love to see it again.

Most if not all episodes are on Dailymotion. In the search bar copy paste おしん and without a space type in episode number 001, 002 and so on.

Or on youtube typing in the search Oshin ep english subtitles

Thanks. I had seen this many years ago - I had forgotten there were almost 300 episodes. Got to clear up some disk space first.

You can also find the series on Doramax264.com. Don't know if all the episodes are available though.

You can get this at https://www2.ondramanice.tv/drama/oshin-detail. There are almost 300 episodes.
They have English subs embedded and the files are small. Ep. 1 is only 40 Mb

RFF says there is a remake in 2013

I think it was a success in Asia because they had to try in the West
