About expanding the territory in the 8th century
As the national governmental system was established, the Imperial Court gained stable political power. Therefore, they started to make an effort to expand the territory.
In the 8th century, the Court began to subdue the northern part of the main island of Japan’s archipelago where native people called Emishi lived.
Along the Japan sea side, Dewa-no-Kuni was established and Akita castle was built, while on the Pacific Ocean side, Mutsu-no-Kuni was established and Taga castle was built. Each castle was used as a political center and a military base against the Emishi.
