**【Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist / Keisuke Teshima】**Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has continued to draw dragon images. Influenced by 14 years of practicing karate from age 6, where he learned the spirit of traditional Japanese martial arts, he encountered the ancient technique of the 'One-Stroke Dragon' and was deeply impressed by its method and history, feeling it was his destiny. He mastered the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of the Edo-period 'One-Stroke Dragon,' he pursues it with the spirit of 【Shuhari】 (a martial arts concept of learning, detachment, and 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 city where dragons are believed to dwell.
