※What is inkjet printing?
Inkjet printing is a technology that directly sprays fine granular ink onto paper or other materials, allowing for vivid printing with high resolution. There are no restrictions on the number of colors that can be used, and full-color printing is possible, making it particularly suitable for printing paintings and photographs. Since no printing plates (plate-making process) are required, it can handle quantities from a single sheet and a wide range of sizes, from small stamp sizes (2cm x 2.5cm) to large format sizes (1m 60cm x 3m 20cm).

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 continues to paint dragon art. Influenced by his 14 years of Karate-do from age six, where he learned the spirit of Japanese traditional ways, 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. He upholds the tradition of one-stroke dragons that has continued since the Edo period, while pursuing dragons with the spirit of "shu-ha-ri" (to follow, to break away, to transcend).
He is one of only three one-stroke dragon artists in Japan. Although originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, due to various coincidences and fateful encounters, he was led to establish his studio in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the thousand-year capital where dragon gods reside.
Kyoto has been considered a place of power for Dragon Gods, residing in "dragon holes" and "dragon veins" for over 1,000 years. Numerous shrines and temples with connections to dragons exist, and pilgrimages to Dragon Gods have been popular from ancient times to the present day.
Japan has long been considered a mystical land where dragons reside, and dragons have been regarded as messengers of gods or divine beings themselves. In many shrines, temples, myths, and legends, dragon gods are worshipped and revered as symbols of "prosperity" and "protection".
About this Painting:
● This is a high-definition reproduction of a life-sized original drawing, created with wholehearted dedication by Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist Keisuke Teshima specifically for this item. It has been meticulously produced using specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion," "high-definition printing," and "special processing/manufacturing."
Important:
Regarding the divine protection and benefits of the original painting versus 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 achieves vivid and delicate color reproduction almost identical to the original painting, photograph, or illustration, with extremely fine and smooth halftone dots compared to general printing. Its characteristic is a much higher "resolution" (fineness) than regular printing. Main applications: art books/photo albums / high-end pamphlets/catalogs / advertisements for cosmetics/jewelry / high-brand packaging.
About the divine protection and benefits of original paintings and high-definition reproductions
~From Keisuke Teshima, Kyoto's Ichibitsuryu Artist~
It is my personal belief and understanding that all products, both original paintings and high-definition reproductions, have been created with dedicated prayers, and there is no difference in the divine protection and benefits they offer. All products offered on this website, "Shoun-Shugo-Enmusubi no Kyoto Ichibitsuryu" (Kyoto's Ichibitsuryu for Rising Fortune, Protection, and Matchmaking), are based on the original Ichibitsuryu paintings I created. They have undergone thorough review and supervision to achieve the same level of precision in every possible detail, striving for expression and creation.
The specific reflection in various products, and the tailoring methods and procedures by the secretariat (responsible department), involve using the exact life-size original paintings I drew exclusively for tailoring. They are then treated with specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making DATA conversion ⇒ high-definition printing, special processing/production, etc.," and tailored with utmost dedication.
We would be grateful if you could take this into consideration and feel reassured when making your purchase or contemplating it.
