A humble request

leanneMay I enquire of those dear to me, particularly kaifu and jenett if they might be willing to use their powers and knowledge for my purposes?
I am pretty well settled on an idea for a new SCA persona; I am thinking about a 1200s-1210s (Kamakura period) Japanese persona, theoretically from what is now (and was then, more or less, but called Hizen), Saga Prefecture. The interwebs is not being helpful with regards to finding any significant history of Saga in the 1200s; it's all later than that. The random reference to the Matsuratou clan in Wikipedia's Saga Prefecture entry turns up next to nothing on searches except that they might have been pirates; no other clans are listed by name.
I would be very grateful for any help -- not sure where to get started looking, and my inability to read Japanese is something I really, really need to fix one of these days.
Arigatou gozaimasu -- thank you so much. (:
And as a random piece of fun: bits of modern Saga dialect. (:
