What is Hitobudo?
As its name suggests, the dragon is said to bring "uninterrupted development and fortune," "uninterrupted good relationships and growth that connect people," and "continuous protection and safety" when its body is painted with a single brush stroke without interruption, without interruption, and is believed to bring about a continuous flow of wishes and prayers. For approximately 400 years, from the Edo period (1603 onwards) to the present day, the dragon has been worshipped and treasured as a dragon god, and its strong protection and blessings have continued to be prayed for and passed down.

Kyoto One-stroke Dragon Painter
Keisuke Teshima
Fascinated by dragons since childhood, he continues to paint dragon pictures.
Influenced by the influence of learning the spirit of the Japanese Way through 14 years of Karate , which he had been practicing since the age of six, he encountered the ancient "Ichibutsu Ryu" technique, and was deeply impressed by the history and reason behind the technique. He believed it was his divine calling , and taught himself the technique.
While preserving the tradition of the single-stroke dragon that has continued since the Edo period, we pursue dragons with the spirit of " Shu-Ha-Ri ."
He is said to be one of only three one-stroke dragon painters in Japan .
Although originally from Fukuoka Prefecture, he was led by a series of coincidences and destiny to find good connections, and now has his studio in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, the 1,000-year-old capital where the dragon god resides.

Dragons and Dragon God Belief in Japan
In Kyoto, where the studio where Kyoto Hitofuki Dragon is painted is located, dragons have been passed down as imaginary beings that have been believed to answer people's prayers and protect the town from disasters for over 1,000 years, especially in Japan.
Since ancient times, Kyoto has been said to be the place where the power of dragon gods dwells in dragon holes and veins resides, and there are many shrines and temples associated with dragons. Pilgrimages to dragon gods have been popular since ancient times to the present day.
