Located about 2 km north of the Golden Pavilion, this temple was founded in 1641 by Jōzan Ishikawa (1588-1672). He pledged to defend the city of Ōsaka against Ieyasu Tokugawa. He went to Kyōto and accepted the tonment. Jōzan was a writer, poet, Chinese specialist and garden architect. Shisendō means ermite poets house and, in one of the rooms, you can see the thirty-six portraits of Chinese poets executed by Tankyū Kanō.
