Sengaku House Codes[edit]

Possibly appropriate addition to this article -- but perhaps better placed elsewhere?

1536: Date Tanemune issues Jinkaishū.^[1]

Just another possibility not yet fully realized .... --Ooperhoofd 20:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Districts[edit]

I translated the rest of the old districts and added a reference, but many of the districts were split, merged into other districts, etc. Many of them also have names which are the same as current or previous districts in other areas of Japan. I've tried to note this where possible; please try not to link to the districts in Gunma or Kochi, for example.

Also, many of the kanji have either been changed during modernization or disambiguation. The "iwa" kanji was changed from 磐 to 岩 some time ago, and the "ta/da" in 志太郡 was later changed to 志田郡 for example. But as this article is about an archaic province the names should be left in their original form. Please don't alter the kanji unless you really know what you are doing.

It still needs cleanup, but at least now it's mostly translated. I'd also suggest ordering them by modern prefecture to make things easier.RabidDeity (talk) 02:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split Mutsu into two[edit]

I think we should split this article into two articles, one for Mutsu from 700s until 1868 and the other Mutsu from 1868 --BigBang19 (talk) 05:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand![edit]

Congrats, the article no longer contains obvious grammatical mistakes, so I removed the copyedit tag and replaced it with Expand. If someone reads French (or finds more refs and cites them), expansion on each of the paragraphs in "Historical Record" would be great! RabidDeity (talk) 08:39, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Voxu[edit]

"Voxu" redirects here, but that name is not mentioned anywhere in the article, which just leaves one guessing... 86.183.0.248 (talk) 01:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term (sometimes also written Woxu) is found in old European sources from the 17th century (like the Historia del regno di Voxu del Giapone, 1615) as a rendering of Ōshū. --Mps (talk) 19:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What does NOI say, and why?[edit]

I've been trying to find references to these 709 and 712 events in the official history resources of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures (the official successors of Mutsu Province). I have been able to find very little online, but the Fukushima Prefectural Government seems to be under the impression that it was in 709 that Michinoku and Dewa separated.

And they appear to have said the exact same thing (in the exact same words) in their Prefectural Assembly's "History of Fukushima Prefecture".[1] Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
