	Early Japan
		Whether the emishi were the Ainu, rustic Japanese tribes, or a combination of both, when they resisted the newcomers (which they did not always do), they did so tenaciously.
		In that a former ambassador to China and Inspector of the provinces of Sagami, Shimotsuke, and Kozuke, Tajihi Agatamori, was assigned the rank of Jeisetsu Sei-I-shôgun and given authority to war on the emishi.
		The clans who battled the emishi did so in part (we can assume) in the hopes of securing sizable rewards of land in the newly colonized areas, and to maintain these in the face of emishi resistance, arms would need to be kept.

	Comments to "Who Were the Emishi?"
		We have come to believe that the cultural area of the Emishi coincides with the areas that used to be under Ainu control.
		The Emishi cultural area was probably smaller than the later Ainu area if we limit their influence to the Tohoku region.
		Concerning the statement, "The Emishi cultural area was probably smaller than the later Ainu area", I'd draw your attention to a paragraph in Nihon Shoki which mentions "Emishi" as an enemy to Jinmu Emperor (the first emperor of Japan).

	Emishi - Natives of Hokkaido & Northern Honshu Japan
		As during the 9th century the emperors began to rely on the powerful regional clans - introducing the title of Shogun and the the basis of the Samurai - and with the development of horse archery the Emishi were driven to Hokkaido.
		Finally, the so-called Emishi rulers of Hiraizumi were not actually direct descendants of that ethnic group and therefore cannot be seen as any sort of evidence.
		Even though the pattern of assimilation is not known in detail for the Emishi who fought against Yamato (Japanese) control in northeast Honshu, ethnic characteristics are lost after three generations of intermarriage or interbreeding in areas that did not remain isolated from the immigrant Japanese population that poured into the area after the conquest.
