On June 5, 1864 the Shinsengumi raided anti-Shogunate activists at Kyoto's Ikedaya
Inn. This act not only saved the city from the planned fires which were being used to
cover up the kidnapping of the Emperor, but also elevated the group to fame and a
place in history.
Nearly 300 years of the Tokugawa's rule would be torn apart by
extremists bent on restoring Imperial power.
As the alliance of atsume-Choshu-Tosa
Clans progressed, only the Shinsengumi was able to stand up to them, and delayed
the eventual fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
This is the story of that famous group,
led by Kondo Isami, who is portrayed to per-fection by motion picture star Matsukata
Hiroki in one of the most thrilling versions of this exciting story.
From their birth as a
small group of ronin attached to the Aizu Clan, until their eventual fall with the
government's collapse.
