In 1014, in the section of February 7 in "Shoyuki" (the Diary of FUJIWARA no Sanesuke), it is written that he presented 20 horses and other luxurious items to FUJIWARA no Michinaga in order to be reappointed as Chinju-fu shogun of Mutsu Province and onlookers were crowded in front of his house to see this incident, so it means that he had been Chinju-fu shogun before this.
長和3年（1014年）、『小右記』の2月7日条には陸奥国鎮守府将軍の重任を得るため、藤原道長に馬20疋他豪華な貢ぎ物を行い、門前にはそれを見ようとする見物人が列をなしたとあり、それ以前に鎮守府将軍であったことが解る。
