Those wooden statues and pictures of Masamune produced after his death were given both eyes, while the right eye was represented slightly smaller than the other; this was based on the thought of Masamune, "my eyes were given by my parents, thus it is unfilial that I lost my right eye, even if the cause of that loss was an illness." 「たとえ病で失ったとはいえ、親より頂いた片目を失ったのは不孝である」という政宗の考えから死後作られた木像や画にはやや右目を小さくして両目が入れられている。 |
