**【Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist / Keisuke Teshima】**Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has continued to draw dragon images. Influenced by 14 years of karate from age 6, where he learned the spirit of Japanese martial arts, he encountered the traditional 'One-Stroke Dragon' and was deeply impressed by its technique, history, and significance, feeling it was his destiny. He learned the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of the Edo-period 'One-Stroke Dragon,' he pursues it with the spirit of 【Shuhari】 (learning, detachment, mastery).
He is considered one of only three in Japan to be a master of the One-Stroke Dragon art. Originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, through various serendipitous and inevitable encounters, he was guided to establish his atelier in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto—the ancient capital where dragons are believed to dwell.
**【Kyoto—The City of Dragons】**Kyoto has been regarded for over 1,000 years as a place imbued with the power of dragon veins and dragon holes. Many shrines and temples associated with dragons exist, and pilgrimages to worship the dragon gods have been actively carried out since ancient times.
**【Dragon (Ryujin) Belief in Japan】**Japan has long been considered a mysterious land where dragons dwell, regarded as messengers of the gods or as deities themselves. Many shrines, temples, myths, and legends worship dragon gods, symbolizing prosperity and protection.
