What is inkjet printing?
It is a technology that sprays fine particulate ink directly onto paper and other materials to achieve vivid printing with high resolution. There is no limit to 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 a single sheet, ranging from small stamp sizes (2cm x 2.5cm) to large formats (1m60cm x 3m20cm).

As the name suggests, a Hitofude-Ryu is a dragon whose body is painted with a single stroke of a brush, without interruption, while earnestly wishing and praying. It is believed to bring "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 deities, with their blessings and benefits being incredibly powerful and continuously wished for, believed in, and passed down.
Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has continued to paint dragon art. Influenced by the spirit of the Japanese way that he learned during 14 years of Karate-do from age 6, he encountered the ancient "one-stroke dragon" technique. Deeply impressed by its history and methods, he believed it to be his life's calling and self-taught himself the technique. He upholds the tradition of one-stroke dragons, which dates back to the Edo period, while pursuing the essence of dragons with a spirit of "Shuhari" (learn, break, transcend).
He is one of only three one-stroke dragon artists in Japan. Although originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, due to a series of fortuitous and destined encounters, he was led to establish his atelier in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward, the 1,000-year-old capital where dragon gods reside.
Kyoto has been regarded for over 1,000 years as a place imbued with the power of dragon gods residing in dragon holes and ley lines. There are numerous shrines and temples with connections to dragons, and pilgrimages to worship dragon gods have been popular from ancient times to the present day.
Japan has long been considered a mysterious country where dragons reside, and dragons have been regarded as messengers of gods or as gods themselves. They are worshipped and revered as Dragon Gods in many shrines, temples, myths, and legends, and are seen as symbols of "prosperity" and "protection."
About this painting:
●This painting is a high-definition reproduction based on the original, full-size artwork, which was meticulously created with wholehearted devotion by Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist Keisuke Teshima specifically for bespoke production. It has been painstakingly crafted down to the finest detail using specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion, high-definition printing, special processing/manufacturing, etc."
Important:
Regarding the divine protection and blessings of 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 where the halftone dots are much finer and smoother than in conventional printing, allowing for vivid and delicate color reproduction that is almost identical to the original artwork, photographs, or illustrations. It is characterized by its exceptionally high "resolution" (fineness) compared to standard printing. Primary uses: art books/photo albums, luxury brochures/catalogs, advertisements for cosmetics/jewelry, high-brand packaging.
About the divine protection and blessings from original paintings and high-definition reproductions
~From Keisuke Teshima, Kyoto's Ichibitsuryu Artist~
It is my sincere belief and understanding that all products, both original paintings and high-definition reproductions, have been imbued with prayers, and therefore, there is no difference in their divine protection and blessings. All products offered on this website, "Kyoto Ichibitsuryu for Rising Fortune, Protection, and Matchmaking," are expressions and creations based on my original Ichibitsuryu paintings, thoroughly reviewed 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 I created specifically for finishing, applying specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion => high-definition printing, special processing/manufacturing," and are meticulously crafted with utmost dedication.
I would be delighted if this information provides you with understanding and reassurance when making your purchase or considering it.
