==Satsumon Period==

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. Many of these early Japanese centers of control were known as ''[[tate]]'' (館), a term which remains today in many placenames, e.g. [[Kakunodate]] ([[Akita prefecture|Akita pref.]]), [[Hakodate]] ([[Hokkaido|Hokkaidô]]). There were several armed rebellions against Yamato rule, but the area was eventually pacified. Some Emishi who assimilated even developed into samurai clans; the [[Ando clan|Andô clan]] of samurai, according to some sources descended from Emishi chiefs, claimed sections of southern [[Ezo]] (i.e. the island of Hokkaidô) from the 1430s, if not earlier.

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>
