- This Hitofude-ryuu artist can paint an entire dragon’s torso with only one brushstroke.
- The technique involves a mesmerizing balance between hard and soft brush pressure. The artist draws the brush along the canvas in one movement but alternately presses strongly and lightly against the page. These small movements create the scales on the dragon’s torso.
- The single stroke is also thought to protect or bring good financial and romantic luck to customers who request the paintings. An upward-facing dragon is said to bring luck, while downward-facing dragons are said to offer protection.
- The artist in the video above has a studio in Kyoto and paints every day. Hitofude-ryuu requires an extreme amount of focus and lots of detailed work, so he usually completes only three to five images a day. He gets online orders from all over the world and has traveled abroad to Florida, Mongolia, and the Philippines for small exhibits of his work.
