RYU dragon live painting with Samurai 士魂流水 at Tokyo Samurai Theater
November 18, 19, 2022, I had a great opportunity to collaborate with Samurai 士魂流水 at Samurai Theater Tokyo.
In total 6 shows, I painted RYU dragon Kakejiku at each opening.
I painted in around 10 minutes with Samurai performing behind me.
When I entered, I prayed to the small shrine there first, then bowed to the guests with the Japanese traditional way.
I am really grateful that I could paint in this bushido spirit atmosphere.
Most kakejiku hanging scrolls I painted there were sold to the guests on the spot.

YouTube videos of Kyoto & Nara temples and shrines visit
We published our Tokyo/Japan Explore spots YouTube videos, about “Kyoto & Nara trip”.
There are 8 videos about Kyoto & Nara temples and shrines visit.
They are about visiting not well known popular tourist spots (some are famous already though), but more meaningful and powerful power spots.
By visiting those places, we Japanese believe we can connect to our guardians and will get better luck.
During my visit there, I had great opportunities to dedicate my RYU dragon kakejiku to Oomiwa shrine in Nara, and to Kifune shrine in Kyoto.
We hope these videos will give you some ideas of places to visit when you come to Japan!
