Background History:
Date Masamune (伊達政宗, September 5, 1567 – June 27, 1636) was a legendary samurai lord who rose to prominence during Japan's Azuchi-Momoyama period and early Edo period. As the heir to the powerful Date clan of the Tōhoku region, he not only became a master tactician but also earned the nickname 'Dokuganryū' (the 'One-Eyed Dragon') due to the loss of his eye. A key figure in the unification of Japan, Masamune founded the modern city of Sendai and became a symbol of strength and leadership. His legacy is celebrated not only for his military achievements but also for his distinctive appearance and the iconic armor he wore, which continues to represent the spirit of the samurai.
