What is Hitofude-ryu (One-stroke Dragon)?

It is believed to bring -->"uninterrupted prosperity and financial luck," "uninterrupted good relationships and growth, connecting 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 Gods, believed to offer strong divine protection and benefits, and their legends have been passed down through generations.

Keisuke Tejima: Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist

Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he continues to paint them. Influenced by the spirit of the Japanese way he learned through 14 years of "Karate-do" from age six, he encountered the ancient "One-Stroke Dragon" technique. Deeply impressed by its history and methods, he believed it was his life's calling and self-taught the technique. While preserving the tradition of one-stroke dragons dating back to the Edo period, he pursues dragons with the spirit of "shu-ha-ri" (learn, detach, transcend).
He is one of only three one-stroke dragon artists in Japan. Although from Fukuoka Prefecture, due to a series of coincidences and fated connections, he was led to establish his studio in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the "1,000-year capital" where dragon gods reside.

Kyoto: The City Where Dragon Gods Reside

Kyoto has been considered a place with the power of dragon gods residing in dragon holes and dragon veins for over 1,000 years. Numerous shrines and temples associated with dragons exist, and pilgrimages to worship dragon gods have been actively carried out from ancient times to the present day.

Dragons in Japan (Dragon God Faith)

Japan has long been considered a mysterious country where dragons reside, and dragons have been regarded as messengers of gods or as divine beings themselves. Many shrines, temples, myths, and legends revere and respect them as Dragon Gods, and they are seen as symbols of "prosperity" and "protection."

About this painting:
●This painting is a high-definition reproduction, meticulously crafted using specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making DATA conversion, high-definition printing, and special processing/production" based on the original, life-size artwork drawn with the utmost care and dedication by Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon artist Keisuke Teshima specifically for this creation.

Important:
Regarding the blessings and benefits of both the original artwork and the high-definition reproduction, please refer to the thoughts and intentions of the artist, Keisuke Teshima, below.

What is high-definition printing?
High-definition printing is a printing technology/method that achieves vivid and delicate color reproduction almost identical to the original artwork, photographs, or illustrations, with much finer and smoother halftone dots than general printing. Its characteristic is a much higher "resolution" (fineness) than regular printing. Main uses: art books/photo books, high-end brochures/catalogs, advertisements for cosmetics/jewelry, high-brand packaging.

About the Blessings and Benefits of Original Paintings and High-Definition Replicas


~From Keisuke Teshima, Kyoto Ichihitsuryu Painter~
It is my belief and conviction that both the original paintings and the various products incorporating high-definition replicas have been created with prayers, and there is no difference in the blessings and benefits they offer. All products offered on this website, "Kyoto Ichihitsuryu for Good Fortune, Protection, and Matchmaking," are reproductions of my Ichihitsuryu original paintings, and they have been thoroughly reviewed and supervised to achieve the same level of precision down to the smallest detail, striving for perfect expression and creation.
The secretariat (responsible department) reflects my original full-size drawings specifically for product creation, using specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion ⇒ high-definition printing, special processing/manufacturing, etc.," and dedicates itself wholeheartedly to the creation process.
We hope that this information will be helpful and provide you with understanding and peace of mind when making a purchase or considering our products.
