【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, through which he learned the spirit of Japanese martial arts, he encountered the traditional 『Hitofude Dragon』 and was deeply impressed by its technique and history. Believing it to be his destiny, he learned the technique through self-study. While preserving the tradition of the Edo-period one-stroke dragons, 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, 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 Where Dragon Gods Reside】Kyoto has been regarded for over 1,000 years as a place imbued with the power of dragon spirits residing in dragon holes and dragon veins. 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 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 gods, symbolizing prosperity and protection.
