		Takatori ware was the official ceramic of the Kuroda, rulers of Chikuzen province (now Fukuoka prefecture), for nearly 300 years until the abolition of the domain system in 1871.
		In 1600, Nagamasa and his army of retainers, were awarded the province of Chikuzen, located on the northern coast of Kyushu, as a reward for services rendered in the battle of Sekigahara, in which Tokugawa Ieyasu and his supporters defeated Ishida Mitsunari and the supporters of Hideyoshi's heir, gaining control over the entire country.
		Wares of this type from the Uchigaso kiln have been recovered in large numbers in teaware-related excavations in Kyoto, proving not only that Uchigaso wares were exported to other parts of Japan during the early seventeenth century, but that they were even popular with the most sophisticated tea connoisseurs in Japan's cultural center.

		In the first invasion a combined Mongol and Korean Army of 40,000 men successfully attacked the islands of Tsushima, Komota and Iki and then landed at Hakata Bay, in Chikuzen province, on northern Kyushu, forcing a Japanese retreat to Dazaifu; but a typhoon destroyed many of the Mongol ships and the invaders returned to Korea.
		The Japanese were completely surprised by the Mongol tactics, which relied more on the force of the collective rather than that of individual skill, employing massed archers firing volleys of arrows, spear-men operating in phalanx formation and huge cavalry charges.
		Reinforcements, automatically deposited on the northern coasts of the provinces on Kyushu and Honshu, are dependent upon how much Koku is generated from earlier conquests, so it is essential to maintain the momentum.
