Masamune (1566-1636)
%20800x600.JPG)
.jpg)
Son of Terumune. His father having been killed by Nihonmatsu
Yoshitsugu, Masamune succeeded him at the age of 18, and continued to wage war
against his neighbors to aggrandize his domains. In 1589, he made himself
master of Aizu, domain of the daimyo Ashina, and established his residence at
the Kurokawa castle (Wakamatsu); but the following year, Hideyoshi, having
triumphed over the Odawara Hojo, forced him to be satisfied with the Yonezawa
fief (300,000 koku). At the time of the expedition to Korea, he accompanied
Hideyoshi to Nagoya (Hizen), thence he passed into Korea with Asano Nagamasa.
During his absence, he was accused of being implicated together with the
Kampaku Hidetsugu in a plot against Hideyoshi, but he succeeded in disculpating
himself. In 1600, Ieyasu ordered him to make war against Uesugi Kagekatsu,
and, assisted by Mogami Yoshiteru, he defeated Naoe Kanetsugu. He then
received in fief the 12 districts possessed until then by the Uesugi, and
changed the name of his castle from Iwatezawa to that of Sendai (620,000
koku). He took part in the siege of Osaka (1615), and repelled the troops of
Goto Ujifusa. When the Shogun Hidetada persecuted the Christians at Edo, he
obtained the release of Father Sotelo, who had been arrested. In 1613, called the
latter to Sendai and commissioned him to accompany an embassy he was sending to
the Sovereign Pontiff and to the king of Spain, the embassy being headed by
Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga. Masamune was then said to be favorably
disposed towards the Christians, and even inclined to embrace Christianity,
but fearing to displease the Shogun, he soon changed his dispositions and
became a persecutor. He died at the age of 70, renowned not only as a warrior,
but still more as a diplomat and a protector of artists and scholars.
