Japanese: その後徳川家康から京都東山に寺領を寄進され、1600年（慶長5年）その地に智積院を移して再建した。
English: Jitsunyo (September 26, 1458 - March 5, 1525) was a Buddhist priest of the Jodo Shinshu (the True Pure Land Sect of Buddhism) who lived from the mid-Muromachi period into the Sengoku period (period of warring states).
Japanese: 実如（じつにょ、長禄2年8月10日(旧暦)（1458年9月17日）－大永5年2月2日(旧暦)（1525年2月23日））は、室町時代中期から戦国時代(日本)にかけての浄土真宗の僧。
English: In 1467 his father Rennyo was declared 'an enemy of Buddhism' by Enryaku-ji Temple and driven away from Kyoto; during the period Rennyo was depressed by Enryaku-ji Temple's persecution, he was forced to live in retirement, to disinherit his eldest sun Junnyo, and to transfer the family headship to Jitsunyo, who at that time was known as Mitsutanemaru (光養丸), but Rennyo regained his influence following the resurgence in Hongan-ji Temple's own power, which left the inheritance question up in the air, until eventually things went back to the way they had been, with Junnyo reinstalled as his successor.
Japanese: 1467年（文正2年）延暦寺から「仏敵」とされ京都を追われた父・蓮如がやむなく延暦寺に屈した時に蓮如の隠居と長男順如の廃嫡、そして当時光養丸と呼ばれていた実如への家督継承が強要されるが、本願寺の勢力回復とともに有耶無耶となり、元のように順如が法嗣とされた。
English: But in 1483, with the death of his eldest brother Junnyo, Jitsunyo was once again made successor (and for that reason, there are actually two letters of inheritance, used by his father the chief priest to name his successor, in existence that designate Jitsunyo his heir), and in 1489, he succeeded his father Rennyo and became the ninth abbot of Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: 1483年（文明_(日本)15年）長兄である順如の死没により改めて法嗣となり（そのため、法主が後継者指名に用いた譲状が実如には2枚存在する）、1489年（延徳8年）父蓮如のあとを受けて本願寺第9世となった。
English: And even after Rennyo passed away in 1499, Jitsunyo found it necessary to handle the maintenance of a religious organization that had suddenly expanded a great deal in scale during his father's time.
Japanese: 1499年（明応8年）に蓮如が亡くなった後も、父の代に急激に拡大した教団の規模を維持する必要があった。
English: Formerly, after forces of the Kaga Ikko Ikki (a popular revolt by the Ikko sect) attacked and destroyed the Shugo (provincial constable) Masachika TOGASHI, just as the seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians") Yoshihisa ASHIKAGA was preparing to issue an order to destroy Hongan-ji Temple, Masamoto came out strongly against issuing such an order and managed to have the order repealed, and because of this chain of events, Jitsunyo felt a major debt of gratitude towards Masamoto.
Japanese: かつて加賀一向一揆が守護富樫政親を攻め滅ぼした際に征夷大将軍足利義尚が本願寺に討伐令を下そうとしていた折に政元がこれに強く反対して討伐令を撤回させたという経緯があったために、実如は大きな恩義を感じていたのである。
English: As a result, in 1495 Jitsunyo gave his approval to purge Senji KAWAI, leader of the Kaga Ikki (revolt) and member of the anti-Masamoto faction, from the religious establishment.
Japanese: このため、1495年（明応4年）には加賀一揆の指導者で反政元派の河井宣久の粛清を容認している。
English: But in 1506, when Jitsunyo agreed to Masamoto HOSOKAWA's request to cooperate in the subjugation of Yoshihide HATAKEYAMA, Jodo Shinshu followers from Settsu and Kawachi Provinces, who had strong ties to the Hatakeyama clan, furiously opposed him, and consequently Jitsunyo's younger brother by a different mother, Jitsugen, himself descended from the Hatakeyama clan, demanded, with the backing of Ishiyama Gobo (later became Omi Province's Shotoku-ji Temple), that he replaced Jitsunyo as Hoshu (high priest) of the Jodo Shinshu Sect.
Japanese: だが、1506年（永正3年）、細川政元の要請を受けて畠山義英討伐への協力に応じると、畠山氏との関係が深かった摂津国・河内国の門徒が猛反発し、実如の異母弟で畠山氏の血を引く実賢（後に近江国称徳寺）を石山御坊にて擁立して法主交替を求める。
English: Jitsunyo, invigorated by this challenge to his authority, managed to outmaneuver his opponents and retain power (in what was called the 'Osaka War'), but following this, when Sumiyuki HOSOKAWA had Masamoto assassinated and began fighting with Sumimoto HOSOKAWA, Jitsunyo, who was caught in the middle of this conflict, was eventually banished temporarily to Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple by Sumimoto.
Japanese: 実如はこれを力づくで抑え込む（「大坂一乱」）が、続いて細川澄之が政元を暗殺して細川澄元と争うと、その争いに巻き込まれた実如は澄元によって一時山科本願寺を追放されてしまう。
