Date Munenari was a ''daimyô'' of [[Uwajima han]], known for his prominent involvement in a number of events of the [[Bakumatsu]] and [[Meiji period]]s.
In [[1851]], along with [[Kuroda Narihiro]] of [[Fukuoka han]] and ''[[roju|rôjû]]'' [[Abe Masahiro]], Munenari convinced [[Shimazu Narioki]] to abdicate as ''daimyô'' of [[Satsuma han]], in favor of his son [[Shimazu Nariakira]]. This came at the end of considerable tensions and political maneuvering between the "conservative" Narioki and his more "progressive" (pro-Westernization) son.<ref> Robert Hellyer, ''Defining Engagement'', Harvard University Press (2009), 162.</ref>
During the visit of former US President [[Ulysses S. Grant]] to Japan in [[1879]], [[Yoshida Kiyonari]] and Munenari were charged with escorting Grant from one formal function to another.<ref>Richard Chang, "General Grant's 1879 Visit to Japan." ''Monumenta Nipponica'' 24:4 (1969). pp373-392.</ref>
Munenari was one of three compilers of the ''[[Tokugawa reiten roku]]'' in [[1881]], alongside [[Ikeda Mochimasa]] and [[Matsudaira Shungaku]].<ref>''Tokugawa Reiten Roku'' 徳川禮典録, vol 1., Tokyo: Owari Tokugawa Reimeikai (1942), 1-2.</ref>
Following his death in [[1892]], Munenari was buried alongside other members of the Uwajima Date clan in [[Yanaka Cemetery]] in Tokyo.
