Nanshū-ji Temple
Nanshū-ji is a Rinzai Zen temple in Sakai, Osaka, founded in 1526 and rebuilt in 1619 under the patronage of Takuan Sōhō. Visitors can explore its historic buildings: the Main Hall of 1654, the Sanmon of 1647 and the Karamon, all designated Important Cultural Properties. Outside the abbot's chamber is a dry garden attributed to Furuta Oribe, with a dry waterfall, a stone bridge and a bed of white stones, declared a National Place of Scenic Beauty. The cemetery holds the graves of Sen no Rikyū, Takeno Jōō and Tsuda Sōgyū, as well as of the Omotesenke, Urasenke and Mushakōjisenke schools, reflecting the temple's link with the tea ceremony. There is also a monument which, according to local legend, marks the “true” grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is a five-minute walk from Goryomae station on the Hankai tramway.
