Dear k kobayakawa if wikipedia doesn't have enough information I hope
that the many fansites available will help change that situation
have you had a chance to see:
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/facts.htm
or the in progress page
The Last Fight at Ezo: Enomoto Takeaki and the Wolves
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/Hakodate.htm
also someone who is a member here did volunteer to study the Shogitai
with the hopes of understanding the last phase of Harada's life too so
I look forward to seeing her work
If we all use our various strengths and backgrounds contribute in any
way which is convenient, I believe that the internet's knowledge of
the Shinsengumi will grow rapidly.
I hope fans around the world are not discouraged by the lack of
Shinsengumi in texts, because it is more of a matter of looking very
closely, or adopting a research "angle". For example, a fan with an
interest in British involvement will be surprised that by following
British diplomats during the Bakumatsu, they will be reading about
bakufu troop movements in the North (which is ofcourse comprised of
Shinsengumi). Or perhaps someone who studies Korea and is interested
in Satsuma will be able to focus on Saigo Takamori in the early 1870s
and really gain an understanding of the motivations of winners of the
Boshin War.
