At the beginning of the [[Nara period]] (early 8th c.), terms such as "Nihon" were used to refer only to the areas under Imperial control, especially the [[provinces]] in the [[Kinai]] region. Over the preceding centuries, the Yamato state had battled and subdued numerous "tribes," "chieftains," or rival states within the main islands, all of whom were seen as being outside of "Nihon" or "Yamato," and were thus seen as "Emishi," or simply "''I''".<ref>"Barbarian" 夷. See [[Sinocentric world order]]. Evelyn Rawski, ''Early Modern China and Northeast Asia: Cross-Border Perspectives'', Cambridge University Press (2015), 205.</ref>

The period of Emishi history from roughly 700-800 CE until 1300 CE is referred to as the "Satsumon period" or "Satsumon culture." Over the course of the 8th-9th centuries, the Japanese expanded into the north, establishing centers of power, and either pushing the Emishi further north, or assimilating them into their own Japanese communities. One of the earliest and most famous victories over the Emishi took place in [[801]], when [[Sakanoue no Tamuramaro]] defeated [[Tamo-no-kimi Aterui]] and became the first to be dubbed ''[[shogun|seii-tai-shôgun]]'', claiming Mutsu and Dewa as Japanese territory. Emishi resistance was by no means at an end, however, at this time.<ref>William de Bary, ''Sources of Japanese Tradition'', vol 1, Columbia University Press (2001), 266.</ref>
