The Sendai Museum was amazing. It was fascinating learning about the history of the city that I am staying in now. I saw some really incredible samurai armor, paintings of Masamune and his wife Megohime, and learned that Masamune was married off at the age of 13, to Megohime who was only 11. Also, Masamune went blind in his right eye from small-pox at the age of five, earning him the nickname “one-eyed dragon.”
