内容
This year marks 150 years since the Meiji Restoration. Depicting a time in history that remains shrouded in darkness, PEACE MAKER KUROGANE has deeply impressed its readers by supplementing historical facts with fiction to portray the lives led by the Shinsengumi as they survived an era of turbulent upheaval. This exhibition showcases approximately 100 original works depicting actual incidents that occurred in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu Period. In addition, we will exhibit about 30 works from anime released in theaters this year, and a map created by Chrono Nanae detailing the Shinsengumi’s connection to Kyoto.
