【Kyoto One-Stroke Dragon Artist / Keisuke Tejima】Since childhood, he has been fascinated by dragons and has continued to draw dragon images. Influenced by 14 years of practicing karate from age 6, where he learned the spirit of Japanese martial arts, he encountered the traditional 『Hitofude Dragon』 and was deeply impressed by its technique and history, feeling it was his destiny. He learned the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of the Edo-period 『Hitofude Dragon』, he pursues dragons with the spirit of 【Shuhari】 (a martial arts concept of learning, detachment, and mastery). He is one of only three known Hitofude Dragon artists in Japan. Originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, through various coincidences and inevitable encounters, he was guided to establish his atelier in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, a city with a 1,000-year history where dragon gods dwell.
【Kyoto, the City of Dragon Gods】Kyoto has been considered a place imbued with the power of dragon spirits residing in dragon holes and dragon veins for over 1,000 years. Many shrines and temples associated with dragons exist, and pilgrimages to worship dragon gods have been actively carried out from ancient times to the present.
【Dragon (Dragon God Worship) in Japan】Japan has long been regarded as a mysterious land where dragons dwell, and dragons are considered messengers of the gods or even the gods themselves. In many shrines, temples, myths, and legends, dragons are worshiped as divine beings, symbols of prosperity and protection.
