※What is inkjet printing?
Inkjet printing is a technology that allows for vivid, high-resolution printing by directly spraying microscopic ink particles onto paper or other materials. There are no restrictions on the number of colors that can be used, allowing for full-color printing, making it particularly suitable for printing paintings and photographs. Since no printing plates (plate-making process) are required, it is possible to print from just one piece, and it can accommodate a wide range of sizes, from small stamp sizes (2cm x 2.5cm) to large format sizes (1.6m x 3.2m).

As the name suggests, a Hitofude Dragon is a dragon whose body is painted with a single brushstroke, without interruption, while praying and wishing, thereby symbolizing 'uninterrupted prosperity and financial luck,' 'uninterrupted good relationships and growth that connect people,' and 'continuous protection and safety.' For approximately 400 years, from the Edo period (1603-) to the present, these dragons have been revered and treasured as dragon deities, believed to grant strong blessings and benefits, and their legends continue to be passed down.
Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has continued to paint dragon art. Influenced by his 14 years of Karate-do training from age 6, where he learned the spirit of the Japanese way, he encountered the ancient art of "Hitofude-ryu" (one-stroke dragon painting). Deeply impressed by its techniques and history, he felt it was his destiny and devoted himself to mastering the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of Hitofude-ryu, which dates back to the Edo period, he pursues dragons with the spirit of "Shu-Ha-Ri" (learn, detach, transcend).
He is one of only three Hitofude-ryu artists said to exist in Japan. Although he is from Fukuoka Prefecture, due to a series of fortuitous and inevitable connections, he was led to establish his atelier in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the "city of a thousand years" where dragon deities reside.
Kyoto has been considered a place imbued with the power of Dragon Gods, residing in "dragon holes" and "dragon veins" for over 1,000 years. Many shrines and temples associated with dragons exist here, and pilgrimages to worship Dragon Gods have flourished from ancient times to the present day.
Japan has long been considered a mystical land where dragons reside, and dragons have been revered as messengers of gods or as gods themselves. Many shrines, temples, myths, and legends worship and revere dragons as dragon gods, and they are considered symbols of "prosperity" and "protection".
About this painting:
●This painting is a high-definition reproduction based on an original, full-size artwork, created with all the heart and soul of Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist Keisuke Teshima specifically for bespoke commissions. It has undergone a rigorous process of specialized techniques, including high-precision plate-making data conversion, high-definition printing, special processing, and manufacturing, applied meticulously down to the smallest detail.
Important:
Regarding the divine protection and benefits of both the original painting and the high-definition reproduction, please refer to the thoughts and intentions of artist Keisuke Teshima below.
What is high-definition printing?
High-definition printing is a printing technology/method that uses much finer, smoother halftone dots (dots) than general printing, enabling vivid and delicate color reproduction that is almost identical to the original artwork, photograph, or illustration. It is characterized by a significantly higher "resolution" (fineness) than regular printing. Main applications: art books/photo books, high-end brochures/catalogs, advertisements for cosmetics/jewelry, high-brand packaging.
About the divine protection and blessings from original artworks and high-definition reproductions
~From Keisuke Teshima, Kyoto's One-Stroke Dragon Artist~
It is my sincere belief that all products, including both original artworks and high-definition reproductions, reflect my thoughts and intentions, and are imbued with prayers, so there is no difference in divine protection or blessings. The various products offered on this website, "Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon for Rising Fortune, Protection, and Matchmaking," are expressions and creations based on my original one-stroke dragon artworks, meticulously scrutinized and supervised to achieve the same level of precision down to the smallest detail.
The specific reflection and finishing methods and procedures for each product by the secretariat (responsible department) involve using the exact full-scale original drawings that I created specifically for finishing, and applying specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making DATA conversion => high-definition printing, special processing/production, etc." with wholehearted dedication.
I would be grateful if you could refer to this information and understand and feel at ease when purchasing or considering our products.
