Yamazaki Sōkan (山崎宗鑑) (1465–1553) was a renga and haikai poet from Ōmi Province, Japan.
[1] His real name was Shina Norishige, and he was also called Yasaburō; "Yamazaki Sōkan" was a pen-name (haimyō).
The location of this hermitage is debated, since the town of Shimamoto, Osaka, claims to contain its remains, as does the Myōkian, a temple in Ōyamazaki, Kyoto.
Sōkan left Yamazaki in 1523 and settled five years later in the town of Kan'onji in Sanuki province.
On the grounds of Kōshōji, he made a hermitage for himself called Ichiya-an, where he spent the rest of his life composing poems.
