It’s a crime to go to Sendai but not talk about the LEGEND that is Date Masamune, so today I’m gonna do just that!
In today’s video, I visit Sendai Castle and use the opportunity to talk about the history and legacy of Masamune, his relationships with other samurai big names like Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his association with Darth Vader from Star Wars??
This video is gonna be quite the information dump, so sit back and get ready to learn about one of the most influential samurai in Japanese history!
