About Date Munemura
- Date Munemura (????, 25 June 1718 – 21 June 1756) was an mid-Edo period Japanese samurai, and the 6th daimyo of Sendai Domain in the Tohoku region of northern Japan, and the 22nd hereditary chieftain of the Date clan. Munemura was the fourth son of Date Yoshimura.
- Two of his older brothers died young, and the third (Date Murakaze) formed a separate household, so he was appointed heir.
- His childhood name was Date Hisamura (????); however, when he was received in formal audience by shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, he received one kanji from the shogun's name, and the thus became Date Munemura.
- He was also betrothed to the daughter of Tokugawa Munenao, the daimyo of Kii Domain at that time.
- He became daimyo in 1743 upon the retirement of his father.
- He was noted as a man of many talents.
- As his father, he was noted for his literary achievements, and he was also proficient in horsemanship, swordsmanship, use of the spear, military strategy and hojutsu (gunnery). In 1752, Sendai Domain was struck by a severe famine.
- While touring a stricken village in what is now Watari District, Miyagi on his way back from sankin-kotai in Edo, he was directly petitioned by the headman of Nakaizumi village, Kitahara Kanehira, for a reduction in the village's taxes.
- As was the common punishment for such an action, the headman's house and fields were confiscated and he was crucified as punishment, Munemura died in 1756 at the age of 39, and was succeeded by his son, Date Shigemura.
- His grave is at the Date clan mausoleum at Dainenjiyama in Sendai.
