	Date Masamune
		Masamune was born in September 1566 at Yonezawa and first went by the name Botenmaru.
		Masamune, largely lenient towards the Christians in his lands, interceded on the behalf of a certain Father Soteho who had been condemned to death for preaching his faith in Japan in defiance of the anti-Christian edicts.
		Soteho agreed, and Ieyasu reluctantly consented to Masamune's requests for authorization, despite fears that the crafty Date was somehow fishing for European aid in a possible overthrow of the Tokugawa.

	Masamune - Legendary Swordsmith
		In fact, as Masamune was a full time employee of the Kamakura military government, he was not entitled to put his personal name onto a blade (this was the same as the swordsmiths of Yamato who were employees of the Buddhist temples).
		Masamune’s tanto are usually hira-zukuri (flat, with no shinogi) and invariably have uichi-zori, a reverse-curve, curving inward towards the cutting edge or ha-saki.
		One such sword is known as the Ishida Masamune and it was in the UK a few years ago, for the “Swords of the Samurai” exhibition held at the British Museum.

		Nie are areas of bright crystalline structure in the hamon (temper-line) or ji (the blade surface between the ridgeline of the blade and the hamon), resulting from the interaction of the steel during the quenching process.
		Masamune's style is often referred to as "the beauty of nie," putting his blades in distinct contrast with Bizen blades.
