He mastered the technique through self-study.While preserving the tradition of the Edo-period 'One-Stroke Dragon,' he pursues the art with the spirit of 'Shuhari' (learning, detachment, mastery).He is one of only three known 'One-Stroke Dragon' artists in Japan.Originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, he now resides in Higashiyama, Kyoto, where his atelier is located—guided by various serendipitous and inevitable encounters, as if led by the dragon gods themselves.
