There are many film and television works about Shinsengumi in Japan, but this film, which was born out of Yasujiro Tian’s novels, did not select those big figures and well-known legends who have survived in history. Yoshimura, an ordinary Shinsengumi member with intertwined contradictions and conflicts, became the epitome of the great changes of the era at that time. Because of poverty, he had to leave the domain to join the Shinsengumi, but he never gave up his samurai spirit; he was called a miser, but he did not stand on the side of money at a critical moment. The film adopts the technique of wanting to promote first and suppress it, which makes the feat of this little man even more exciting. The precious spirit of this ordinary person full of sincere emotions has moved countless audiences. The solid performances of powerful actors such as Nakai Kiichi and Sato Hiroshi and Hisaishi's moving music are also highlights of the film that cannot be ignored. The film won several awards at the annualザテレビジョンドラマアカデミーAwards.
