	Mutsu province - SamuraiWiki
		Mutsu Province was originally called 'Michi no oku' or 'Michinoku'--literally the province at the end of the land.
		In 718, portions of Michinoku and Hitachi Province were split off to form Iwaki and Iwashiro provinces, which were dissolved and reabsorbed only a few years later.
		Emishi chieftains continued to manage districts in the province through at least the 9th century, as the Emishi were incorporated into the larger Japanese polity under the Ritsuryo system of government.

		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.
		During the Meiji period, four other provinces were created from parts of Mutsu, including Rikuchu, Rikuzen, Iwaki, and Iwashiro.

	Sulphur - LoveToKnow 1911
		It should be noted that the oxidation of sulphur itself by atmospheric influence may give rise to sulphuric acid, which in the presence of limestone will form gypsum: thus the sulphur-deposits of Sicily suffer alteration of this kind, and have their outcrop marked by a pale earthy gypseous rock called briscale.
		Fine crystals occur at Conil near Cadiz; whilst in the province of Teruel in Aragon, sulphur in a compact form replaces fresh-water shells and plant-remains, suggesting its origin from sulphur-springs.
		Important deposits of sulphur are worked at several localities in Japan, especially at the Kosaka mine in the province of Rikuchiu, and at Yatsukoda-yama, in the province of Mutsu.

		Shinano province is the large landlocked province in Eastern Honshu and Dewa and Mutsu are those large provinces in Northern Honshu.
		Mutsu would best be split in three or four I think, and Dewa into two or three.
		There are some other provinces I would also consider to split based on their alignments in about 1545 or so.

		Strategically, their home province of Shimoza is well insulated from enemies unlike Imagawa's or Takeda's and the province of Musashi has a river, therefore is easily defensible.
		Hojo's provinces are all in one pool and not divided like Takeda's lands which makes it easier to plan the strategy.
		You are likely to win in Mutsu since this province is not as defensible as Shinano or Kaga due to its landscape of rolling hills.

		However, over the years of since the establishment of the Tokugawa Shōgunate, most domain had run up serious debts (due in part to the construction and sankin kotai demands of the Tokugawa rulers) and this one carrot the new Meiji leaders used to entice the daimyō to willing “return” their domains to the Emperor.
		It wasn't a bad deal but after the daimyō of Satsuma and Chōshū proved their loyalty to the Emperor by returning their domains, the smaller daimyō didn't really have much choice.
		He secured control of about one-third of the provinces through the use of large-scale warfare, and he institutionalized administrative practices, such as systematic village organization, tax collection, and standardized measurements.

		The family took its name from the Date district (now Fukushima Prefecture) of Mutsu Province which had been awarded to Isa Tomomune by Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first Kamakura shogun, for his assistance in the Minamoto-Taira War (1180-85) and in Minamoto no Yoritomo’s struggle for power with his brother, Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
		Masamune killed his own brother in his rise to power, stating "I thought that we could get along as brothers, perhaps in the next life....." Masamune's family had consolidated power in their domain and cemented a sense of stability in the region by marrying off relatives to the neighboring clans.
		Although initially in his career he was faced with hostile clans attacking him, he managed to overcome these clans after a few defeats and eventually ruled one of the largest fiefs of the later Tokugawa shogunate.

		After his son Akiie was killed in battle, Kitabatake once again pledged his support to Noriyoshi, and set sail for Mutsu, but they encountered heavy storms on the way and were forced to land in the province of Hitachi.
		The government of the eastern provinces could not be maintained, and fortresses they relied upon fell, forcing them to retreat to Yoshino, where Kitabatake became the principal councilor of the Southern Court, which invaded Kyoto in 1351, declaring itself the legitimate government.

		Because of this tendency for "inferiors to overcome superiors" (gekokujo), the previous shugo almost completely disappeared from Kyoto and the surrounding provinces; a new type of domain lord, the daimyo, took their place.
		Mutsu and Dewa was divided into several sub regions, if you are going to divide the province use the Meiji era names at least they don't look weird in Japanese then.
		If you are to split up provinces that were not split up after the Meiji restoration, I suggest you base them on the "Han" rather than anything else.

	Ancient Japan - 4
		In 1185, after the destruction of the Taira family at the Battle of Dannoura, Yoritomo was granted the right to appoint his vassals, or gokenin ("housemen") as military governors (shugo) in the provinces and military stewards (jito) in both public and private landed estates.
		Though he kept the title only briefly and was not known by that term in the documents he issued to manage Kamakura affairs, "shogun" ultimately emerged as the title associated with the head of a bakufu.
		When the Ando family raised a revolt in Mutsu province at the end of the Kamakura period, the bakufu found it difficult to suppress, partly because of the remoteness of the site of the uprising.

	Matsudaira Katamori and Sadaaki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the history of the Bakumatsu, and in particular the history of the Shinsengumi, the life story of Matsudaira Katamori, arguably one of the most maligned and least understood figures of the whole Bakumatsu, has gone largely unnoticed.
		Matsudaira Katamori was born in Edo on February 15, 1836 (12/29/Tenpo 6), the son of Matsudaira Settsu-no-kami Yoshitatsu, who ruled the 30,000 koku domain of Takasu, in Mino Province.
		After the Restoration, in December of Meiji 3 (1870), it was absorbed into Owari-han, and even though it subsequently formed part of the new Nagoya Prefecture in July 1871, in November, all of Mino was made into Gifu Prefecture, so Takasu was part of Gifu Prefecture instead of Aichi Prefecture.
