Zuihoden Mausoleum

The resting place of the daimyo fuedal lord Date Masamune.

I made a wee pilgrimage to Sendai to pay my respects to one of Japans most interesting historical figures. Known as the One-eyed Dragon of Oshu. Date lost the sight in one eye due to small pox as a child. Regardless he went on to become a powerful leader, excellent economist and notable Christian.
