Kohoku Fudo Myo-o (North-Facing Fudo Myo-o)
京都市南区東九条烏丸町
A Tendai sect temple dedicated to Fudo Myo-o (the Immovable Wisdom King), historically oriented with its statue facing north to protect the capital city of Heian-kyo.
History
Established as a temple under imperial patronage in 1120 CE (Daichi 5), with Kakuban as its founding monk, who performed prayers for the recovery of Emperor Toba from illness. The temple is named Kohoku-zan Fudo-in (North-Facing Mountain Fudo Temple) because the statue of Fudo Myo-o, the main deity, was oriented north to protect Heian-kyo. The current main hall was relocated here in 1712 CE (Shotoku 2) after being gifted by Emperor Reigen, originally serving as a palace for Emperor Toya.
