Set during the twilight years of the Edo period, this series centers on the young men who formed the Shinsengumi, one of Japan's most storied samurai organizations. It portrays their daily lives, rivalries, and loyalties with a grounded, human sensibility rather than romanticized heroics. Fans of Kyoto history will find its depictions of the era's political turbulence and street culture a fitting companion to visits around Gion and the old Mibu neighborhood.
