About Shinsengumi 新選組

The Shinsengumi were a brutal police force defending the cause of the shogun in Kyoto. Their history is filled with battles, death, and controversy. It is quite an interesting topic and has come into popularity recently due to Japanese TV dramas and the like. This group is dedicated to Shinsengumi photos with a historical context. I think it will be an excellent resource for those seeking more knowledge about this portion of Japanese history.

THE RULES:

1. You may post ONLY Shinsengumi (Roshigumi) related photos
2. REAL photos... No anime, manga, cosplay, etc.
3. Your photos must have been taken in Japan
4. Your photos must have a good historical caption telling the viewer why your photo is related to the Shinsengumi

Examples of things to post:

-Statues or busts of Shinsengumi members
-Graves of Shinsengumi members
-Buildings associated with the Shinsengumi
-Homes of Shinsengumi members
-Battle areas
