 | | Mutsu (陸奥国; -no kuni) is an old province of Japan, which today composes Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and Aomori Prefectures and the city of Kazuno and the town of Kosaka in Akita Prefecture. |
 | | Mutsu, in northern Honshū, was one of the last provinces to be formed as land was taken from the indigenous Ainu, and became the largest as it expanded northward. |
 | | The Uesugi clan had a castle town at Wakamatsu in the south, the Nambu clan at Morioka in the north, and Date Masamune, a close ally of the Tokugawa, established Sendai, which is now the largest town of the Tōhoku region. |
