There are only two rules of Mutsu:

What goes on in Mutsu; Stays in Mutsu.

If you spill it; You lick it up.

   Mutsu no Kuni is Japanese for Country of Mutsu.  Mutsu is a province in Japan where the Date where from.  The two founding members of Mutsu no Kuni have taken the Date name, as their own, and portray Bushi from different time periods in the Date history. 

   This site is a new beginning for the Date and is being used to provide information about Mutsu no Kuni, it's members, friends, and what we do in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA for short).  There website can be found here:  http://www.sca.org.  The SCA is a non-profit educational organization that strives to recapture the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance through research.  Specifically, any time before 1600. 

   Research into the clothes that were worn, the weapons that were used, the food that was eaten, and every facet of life as it was lived.  Authenticity is encouraged in Mutsu no Kuni, but isn't a requirement, as long as an attempt is made. 

   The SCA has many events, worldwide, that occur almost every weekend.  And, there are many different wars that can be attended throughout the year, Pennsic and Estrella being two of the most common.  Pennsic takes place in the latter part of July, for two weeks, north of Pittsburg, PA.  To see what Pennsic is all about, go here:  http://www.pennsic.net/.  Estrella takes place mid- February, for a week, south-east of Phoenix, AZ. To see what Estrella is all about, go here:  http://www.estrellawar.org/. 

The shaded area is Mutsu Provence.

   The purpose of this website is to help educate and share experiences in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism).  Some of the areas, to be shared, will be in Armor, Kyudo, Garb, Kumihimo (which is Japanese lace braiding), and the Tents currently being built.  Some of what will be in the individual pages have been seen before.  Information will be added to or shown what can be done to help explain how to do it, from a different perspective.  Since this site is a work in progress, it will be updated as I go along in my schooling endeavors.  If something is not explained properly or is just down right wrong, please e-mail me and I'll fix it.
