**【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, which teaches 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 One-Stroke Dragon dating back to the Edo period, 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.
