【Kyoto Ippitsu Ryu Artist / Keisuke Teshima】Since childhood, fascinated by dragons, he has continued to draw dragon images. Influenced by 14 years of karate, where he learned the spirit of Japanese martial arts, he encountered the traditional 'Ippitsu Ryu' and was deeply impressed by its technique and history, feeling it was his destiny. He mastered the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of the Ippitsu Ryu that has been passed down since the Edo period, he pursues the art with the spirit of 【Shuhari】 (learning, detachment, mastery).He is considered one of only three Ippitsu Ryu artists in Japan. Originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, through various coincidences 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, with many shrines and temples associated with dragons. Since ancient times, it has been a popular pilgrimage site for worshipping dragon deities.
【Dragon (Ryujin) Belief in Japan】Japan has long been considered a mysterious land where dragons dwell, regarded as messengers of the gods or as divine beings themselves. Many shrines, temples, myths, and legends worship dragon deities, symbolizing prosperity and protection.
