Serving Emperor Kammu, he was appointed shogun and given the task of conquering the Emishi (蝦夷征伐 Emishi Seibatsu), a people native to the north of Honshū, which he subjugated.

Kogakesan Fudoo-In Kokujooji 古懸山不動院国上寺 Kokujo-Ji
Kokujo-Ji 國上寺 temple is dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai, Buddha of Healing.
青森県平川市碇ヶ関古懸門前１−１ / Monzen-1-1 Ikarigasekikogake, Hirakawa-shi Town
It has been built in the Heian period on request of Shotoku Taishi at Mount Ajarayama 阿闍羅山 Ajara Yama ( 442 meters) to appease the realm in the Northern districts of Japan.
There were three halls in the compound, one for Fudo Myo-O, one for Dainichi Nyorai 大日坊 and one for Kannon Bosatsu 補陀洛寺.
It is now Nr. 23 on the pilgrimage to 33 Kannon temples in Tsugaru.
In 1154 the regent Hojo Tokiyori (1227 - 1236) re-located the halls to its present location.
They were called 三森山不動院古懸寺 and many warriors of the Kamakura period came here to pray.
In 1588 the first local lord, 津軽右京亮為信 Tsugaru Tamenobu (1550 - 1608) had the temple re-named to 国上山不動院古懸寺 and offered prayers for the safety and peace of the country. Further buildings were also erected at this time, as more land was allocated to the temple.
In 1871 the land was returned to the state and in 1893 during a fire on January 7 many buildings were lost due to a fire.
Munakata Shiko stayed here and promoted the faith in Fudo Myo-O with his art works.

- The local story knows this -
The third lord of the region, Tsugaru Nobuyoshi 津軽信義 (1619 - 1655) was at Edo castle when the talk came to statues, so he proudly said "A statue of Fudo Myo-O has to be seated".
But the other daimyo lords did not agree:
"Oh no, this can't be. A statue of Fudo Myo-O always has to be standing!"
The lord of Tsugaru became angry and said:
"Well, if you do not believe me, send an envoy to Tsugaru to have a look at the seated statue."
When Nobuyoshi reached his estate in Edo, he thought by himself:
"Oh dear, I said the statue is seated, but I have never seen it myself really!"
He ordered a fast horse to go to Tsugaru and have the chief retainer at the castle go to the temple to look at the statue.
When the retainer saw the statue, well, it was a standing Fudo Myo-O!
So the retainer, agast at what would happen to his lord in Edo, talked to the statue:
"Please, Fudo sama, sit down. You have to sit down to save the domaine of Tsugaru from great disaster. If you do not sit down now as I order you to, you will be called the "Ungreatful Fudo 恩義知らずの不動" for the rest of your life.
Fudo showed his intimidating face, but then he said:
"Very well then, I will help you and sit down!"
And he kept sitting down till our day.

The statue of a seated Fudo is also called nemari Fudo Sama ねまり不動様 (lit. "crouching Fudo").
When something bad is going to happen in Tsugaru, the statue starts to sweat (to get wet 湿ってくる).
Maybe it just gets wet when the weather becomes very humid in Tsugaru.
. asekaki Fudo 汗かき不動 / あせかき不動 sweating Fudo .
- The local story knows this -
The second lord of the region, Tsugaru Nobuhira 津軽信牧 (1586 - 1631) had to deal with a long drought and famine in his domaine. He had all the usual rituals for rain and help performed at the temple and was on his way back home. Then suddenly dark clouds came up and it began to rain and rain and rain and thunder ever more. Just when he thought "Well, I better not go home right now ... " he saw a light at the other side. He later learned that at this moment the castle was all aflame, because a producer of fireworks had an accident and fire broke out.
The whole castle burned down, even the large tower and all the historical records he had collected so far.
Legend knows that right before this tragic fire event, the statue of Fudo Myo-O had been sweating. But this time it was foreboding not another famine or flooding, but the fire at the castle.
