Tōrei Enji is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Tōrei Enji made bold ink portraits of Zen masters in the 1700s. His *Meditating Daruma* shows the founder of Zen seated in sharp, calligraphic strokes, robes pooling like ink spilled on paper. Daruma’s single sandal hangs from one foot, a classic symbol of his legendary journey. The stark black-and-white leaves no room for decoration—just the weight of a mind turned inward. See more of this spare, meditative style in the next tile.
