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

Daikan Monju painted Buddhist figures in bold ink and sharp lines, working in Japan during the 1800s. In the Gallery you’ll find his Bodhidharma (Daruma) from 1836—a no-nonsense portrait of the legendary monk with a thick beard and wide eyes. Look for the way the robe folds become dark creases against empty paper. Ready for another quiet moment? Tap the scroll to see the next ink drawing.
