Togashi Emi

Togashi Emi was a Tattooed Monk who was sent to teach the Tao to a Phoenix shrine. She believed the world of abstracts existed in a state of purity unblemished by the material world, and sought enlightenment through the study of abstracts theories. She regarded the Sangaku, because when she puzzled over a devotional tablet thought about the naked abstraction, and it was the purity of that experience that would lead her to enlightenment. Emi worked with Isawa Naonobu, who passed her a copy of a sangaku devotioned at Isawa's Staircase.
