**What is Ippitsuryu (One-Stroke Dragon)?**As the name suggests, the dragon's body is drawn with a single continuous stroke of the brush. By painting with prayers and intentions without ever breaking the stroke, these dragons are said to ensure that "development and financial fortune do not break," "good matches and growth continue to connect people," and "protection and safety are continuously maintained." For approximately 400 years, from the Edo period (1603–) to the present day, they have been revered and cherished as Dragon Gods with extremely strong protection and blessings."The symbol of Kyoto Ippitsuryu's protection and blessings = Drawing the body in a single stroke without any interruption."

**Kyoto Ippitsuryu Artist: Keisuke Teshima**Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he has continued to draw them ever since. Influenced by the spirit of the Japanese "Way" (Do) through 14 years of Karate practice starting at age six, he encountered the traditional "Ippitsuryu." Deeply moved by the history and origins of the technique, he felt it was his calling and mastered the skill through self-study. While preserving the traditions of Ippitsuryu dating back to the Edo period, he pursues the dragon through the spirit of "Shuhari" (obey, detach, transcend).He is one of only three Ippitsuryu artists said to exist in Japan. Originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, a series of coincidences and inevitable connections led him to establish his studio in Higashiyama, Kyoto—the 1,000-year-old capital where the Dragon God is said to dwell.
**Kyoto: The Capital Where the Dragon God Dwells**For over 1,000 years, Kyoto has been regarded as a place possessed of the power of the Dragon God, residing in "dragon holes" (energy spots) and "dragon veins" (energy paths). Numerous shrines and temples associated with dragons exist there, and pilgrimages to worship the Dragon God remain popular to this day.
**Dragons in Japan (Dragon God Worship)**Since ancient times, Japan has been considered a mystical country where dragons dwell, with dragons regarded as messengers of the gods or as gods themselves. They are worshipped and revered as "Dragon Gods" in many shrines, temples, myths, and legends, serving as symbols of "Prosperity" and "Protection."
