#165 Date Masamune & Sanada Yukimura — Learn Japanese Through History (N5–N3)

Meet two of the most popular heroes of the Sengoku period — the ones you may already know from anime and games. Date Masamune (伊達政宗 / date masamune), the "one-eyed dragon," and Sanada Yukimura (真田幸村 / sanada yukimura), the "greatest warrior in Japan."This is Episode 6 of our mini-series on Japanese history, made for JLPT N5–N3 learners. In about seven minutes, you'll learn the story behind Masamune's eyepatch and crescent-moon helmet, why Yukimura's bright red armor made him a legend after he nearly defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu, and how the two met just once, on opposite sides at the Siege of Osaka (大坂の陣).You'll also pick up five useful everyday words: 目立つ (medatsu), 倒す (taosu), 見事な (migoto na), 敵 (teki), and 味方 (mikata). In our "Japanese You Can Still Use Today" corner, we look at nihon-ichi (日本一), "the best in Japan."Next episode: Japanese castles — the towering keeps and stone walls where the samurai lived.🚀 NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR JAPANESE💻Systematic Learning (Self-Study)🎁 Podcast Listener Reward: Claim your exclusive discount through the link below:https://www.udemy.com/course/intermediate-japanese-jlpt-n3-course1/?couponCode=JULY26_NIHONGOCANDY💻Executive Private Coaching (Live):https://www.welcjp.com/forindividuals📱 LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mikisasakiwelc#Samurai #JapaneseHistory #SengokuPeriod #SamuraiHistory #AnimeJapanese #DateMasamune #SanadaYukimura #NihongoCandy #LearnJapanese #JapaneseVocabulary #JLPTN5 #JLPTN4 #JLPTN3 #JapaneseForTravel #TravelInJapan #SpeakJapanese #JapanesePhrases #LivingInJapan #JapaneseConversation
