The Equestrian Statue of Date Masamune is one of Sendai’s most striking landmarks and a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Perched on a hill within the beautiful grounds of Sendai Castle (Aoba Castle), the statue captures the power and charisma of Date Masamune — the “One-Eyed Dragon” who founded Sendai. The statue itself is stunning, especially with the backdrop of the city skyline and mountains. It’s easy to feel the historical weight of the place, imagining what Sendai might have looked like centuries ago under Masamune’s rule. The viewpoint offers one of the best panoramic views of the city, particularly around sunset or in autumn when the leaves turn fiery red.

Snowy afternoon spent up at this statue. Caught the city loop bus up from the mausoleum. The bus was crowded but worth it. Lots of photo opportunities as well as some local actors who must have been employed to dress in historical gear for visitors to take photos with. Food options are available up there. Great views over Sendai.

As a big Japanese history nerd, I loved this place so much. There isn't much here in the way of historical things outside of the museum etc, but just the site itself and knowing what was here and who built it was so great to be here. Love the statue and the views from this area are just fantastic too.

In the late Sengoku Period, Date Masamune was comet in the north east part of Japan.Masamune, who is also regarded as role model of the Oda Nobunaga, was caught in an old tradition and delayed integration fearlessly louver. Since 18 years old, he became the head of the family, then he continued his challenge in the battle and in a very short period of time he was able to be the top leader in the prefecture. Therefore, Kensin Co., LTD decided to reproduce his image as the energetic person riding on a horse. According to the history, Date Masamune is known to be one-eyed person and his nickname is one-eye man, “Dokuganryu”. Kensin Co., LTD also tried best in reproducing the Date Masamune as an...

仙台の象徴で全国的には騎馬像が有名ですが、初代は昭和10年(1935年)の造立で、昭和19年(1944年)1月15日に青葉城址から出陣式の後に金属類回収令による金属として供出されて溶解されたはずでした。戦後に塩釜市で原型のまま発見されたのですが、そのまま放置されて次ぎに見かけた時には上半身のみの姿に変わっていたという事です。今は仙台市博物館の野外に胸像として展示されています。切断面はガスで焼き切ったように不規則になっています。 現在の像は昭和39年(1964年)10月9日の東京五輪開会式前日に11:00から復元除幕挙行となったものです。その後再び騎馬像が石膏原型を元にした3/4サイズで製作されて昭和62年(1987年)に仙台駅に展示の後、柴田町農村環境改善センター(月曜休館)ロビーに展示されています。こちらは間近で見られる展示です。さらに岩沼市竹駒神社の馬事博物館には原型の試作品として製作された像が展示されていますが、団体予約か特定日の見学となります。この他、各地に金属製ではない騎馬像もあります。 伊達政宗公は宮城県護国神社には祀られていません。北仙台の青葉神社に神号「武振彦命」(たけふるひこのみこと)として祀られています。宮司は代々神職である片倉家(白石城主)が勤め16代当主であります重信氏が当職です。 この騎馬像は実寸ではありません。また、人物に対する馬のサイズが大きくなっています。(計測すると頭から尻尾までが4mです) 政宗公の時代は日本馬がポニーサイズといわれています。他藩古文書の記述では「4尺7寸」がみられますが、これは体高(前脚の位置で地面から肩までの高さ)で換算すると142cmだから現代の馬と同サイズと主張する方がいます。この件を精査すると間違いにすぐ気付きます。実はゲージが違うのです。古文書の時代は「尺」が全国統一の基準ではなく藩ごとにバラバラでした。理由は年貢を多く取り立てる目的で小さい尺に換えていたからです。伊達藩では石高を少なく見せる偽装をしていた事から大きい尺も考えられます。5cm大きいゲージでは9万石少なくできますが、あくまで計算上です。(伊達62万石といわれますが実高は100万石なのでは説があります)小さい尺で体高を測ると試算では120cmにしかなりません。やはり一回り小さい馬であるサイズになります。ただし、ばんえい競馬の馬のように太い脚の丈夫な馬ですからサラブレッドとは違った体型です。ポニーサイズで脚太めをイメージするのが適正でしょうね。 東京国立博物館平成館の「東寺」展示では帝釈天騎象像が見られますが、象を馬にするとサイズ感は合っています。 伊達政宗公というと世間一般には仙台のイメージですが、私の場合は東京(江戸)になります。最期の地は日比谷公園にあった上屋敷で、品川宿周辺には伊達下屋敷があり、仙台坂という名称も残されています。(本来の仙台坂は旧仙台坂の方です) 他には樹齢300年のタブノキがあり、仙台味噌醸造所や大井公園の石碑(仙台藩下屋敷・仙台育英会五城寮跡)、港区にも麻布下屋敷があった関連で仙台坂という名称が残されています。ゆかりの寺社は新橋の鹽竃神社を始め多数あります。 ***仙台市博物館の胸像は騎馬像と石膏原型が同じですから溶解の危難を乗り越えたという受験生等にとっては願掛けの像になりますね。サバイバルの象徴は双方セットになります。また、晴れやかな五輪と期を同じくするのは気持ちも高まります。まさにヒーロー像ですね。***

評価3なのは撮影時に逆光になるという条件がマイナスポイントです。順光は朝の...
