Nokogiriyama 鋸山
Kanaya, Temple Nihon-Ji 金谷 - 日本寺

- quote
Mount Nokogiri (鋸山 Nokogiri-yama) literally "saw mountain" is a low mountain on the Bōsō Peninsula on Honshu, Japan. It lies on the southern border of the city of Futtsu and the town Kyonan in Awa District in Chiba Prefecture.
The western side of the mountain is also the site of the sprawling Nihon-ji temple complex, which is the home of two Daibutsu sculptures - a huge seated carving of Yakushi Nyorai that at 31.05 metres (101.9 ft) tall is the largest pre-modern, stone-carved Daibutsu in Japan, and the "Hundred-shaku Kannon", a tall relief image of Kannon carved into one of the quarry walls - as well as 1500 hand-carved arhat sculptures, which combined with the spectacular scenery of the Bōsō Hills and Tokyo Bay, make Mount Nokogiri a popular tourism destination.

The statue of the sweating Fuod is behind the collection of 100 Kannon statues 百体観音.

The statue would sweat as a prelude to some ill omen.
It would also start sweating to make up for the sins of mankind.

不動の力たのむうれしさ

During the Muromachi period, whenever there was a major fight and battle in the country, this wooden statue would start sweating sacred sweat 霊汗. So it was widely revered by the warriors.
This Fudo was also a protector of fires for the town of Edo.
