  "Shinsengumi Warrior Chronicles"

  One of the great appeals of the Shinsengumi lies in its many uniquely talented members. In the organization’s initial structure, Serizawa Kamo and Kondo Isami served as Chiefs. Supporting them were the Vice Chiefs—Hijikata Toshizo, Yamanami Keisuke, and Niimi Nishiki—who helped maintain discipline within the group. Below them were the Assistant Vice Chiefs, followed by the rank-and-file Corps Members.
  Through the few surviving historical records, we explore the true faces and lives of these remarkable warriors.

  The first period will run from Wednesday, 13th May to Sunday, 12th July and the second period will run from Tuesday, 14th July to Sunday, 13th September.
