Kabuto
& Mempo - Date Masamune
The first
Daimyo of Sendai Han in early Edo Period. Son of Date Terumune the lord
of Komazawa castle in Dewa province. His birth name was Bontenmaru. Masamune
joined the Toyotomi armies and by 1590 he was able to defeat a number
of warriors. As a reward he received 58, 000 koku of land in Oshu province.
Later he received more land in Omi and Hitachi provinces, which increased
his total land holdings to 62,000 koku. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death
he joined Tokugawa Ieyasu in the battle of Sekigahara. His letter to Ieyasu
from the battlefield is one of the only clues to the size of armies in
that battle. In 1601 he built a castle in Sendai and moved there.
According
to legends Masamune was a fierce warrior, known for his mastery of warfare.
In one of his battles, when an enemy arrow struck him in the eye, he pulled
the arrow out and continued to fight. Naturally, he lost the eye and since
then he placed a cover (often depicted as tsuba) on his eye. In this portrait
of Masamune the injured eye is exposed and is easily identified
