Suzuki Motonobu
Suzuki Motonobu (鈴木元信) (1555–1620) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku through early Edo period. A former merchant, he was studying tea ceremony in Kyoto when hired by Date Masamune.[1] Also known as Shichirōemon (七右衛門). He was given the job of treasurer, and was involved in external affairs, as well. Masamune granted Motonobu Furukawa Castle.[1] Motonobu felt that Masamune would achieve overlordship over Japan, and so he began to compose a legal code to prepare for that eventuality. However, as this did not happen, the draft was destroyed as per Motonobu's will.[1]
