What is a Hitofude Dragon?

As its name suggests, a Hitofude Dragon is a dragon whose body is drawn with a single brushstroke, without interruption, while imbuing it with wishes and prayers. It is believed to represent 'uninterrupted prosperity and financial fortune,' 'continuous good relationships and growth, connecting people,' and 'sustained 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 for their powerful blessings and benefits, and their legends have been passed down through generations.

Keisuke Tejima, Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist

Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has been continuously painting dragons. Influenced by his 14 years of "Karate-do" from age 6, where he learned the spirit of Japanese traditional ways, he encountered the ancient "One-Stroke Dragon" technique. Deeply impressed by its origins and history, he felt it was his destiny and self-taught the technique. He is dedicated to pursuing dragons with the spirit of Shu-Ha-Ri, while preserving the tradition of one-stroke dragons that has continued since the Edo period.
He is one of only three one-stroke dragon artists in Japan. Although he is from Fukuoka Prefecture, due to a series of coincidences and inevitable fortunate connections, he was led to establish his atelier 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 imbued with the power of Dragon Gods, residing in "dragon holes" (ryuketsu) and "dragon veins" (ryumyaku) for over a thousand years. Numerous shrines and temples associated with dragons exist, and pilgrimages to worship Dragon Gods have flourished from ancient times to the present day.

Dragons in Japan (Dragon God Faith)

Japan has long been regarded as a mystical land where dragons reside, and dragons have been considered messengers of gods or gods themselves since ancient times. They are revered and worshipped as Dragon Gods in many shrines, temples, myths, and legends, and are regarded as symbols of "prosperity" and "protection".

《About this painting》
●This painting is a high-definition reproduction based on the original full-size artwork, meticulously created with all sincerity and soul by Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist Keisuke Teshima specifically for bespoke production. It undergoes strict, detailed processes using specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion," "high-definition printing," and "special processing/production."

《Important》
Regarding thedivine protection and blessings from the original artwork 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 technique/method that achieves vivid and delicate color reproduction almost identical to the original artwork, photograph, or illustration, with much finer and smoother halftone dots (dots) than general printing. Its characteristic is a much higher "resolution" (fineness) than normal printing. Main uses: art books/photo books, high-end brochures/catalogs, advertisements for cosmetics/jewelry, and packaging for high-brand products.
