I encountered a small dragon painter shop when I was in Japan. I filmed the whole process but my legs were all sore from walking lots that day so I hope it is not too shaky with my cheap camera 😀
http://www.kousyuuya.com/ (His website I think, got this link via comments)
A lot of people have been asking where this shop is located I can only give a rough estimate.

Sai ?
How he fuck do people do this , I tried to draw a tree yesterday and got so
angry I had to lay down and count to 10.
In 8 minutes, wow.
WTF?! Are you shitting me?! that was amazingly epic! O.O
How the hell in 8 minutes he mastered this is beyond me.
Best 8 minutes of my life. 10/10 would buy.
How he drew the whole body with one stroke just blew my mind
*Japanese Artist draws dragon with one brush*
After the initial drawing, he draws in one stroke it starts at 3:00
“Sumie is a type of painting and the materials they use are almost the same
as the ones for calligraphers, however the technique is very different. I
can write calligraphy but I´ve never done Sumie although people are little
surprised as they think it´s the same thing.
I´ve done little research and have found out this great master of Sumie
dragon. The shop is Kousyuuya located in Nikko (日光) and they are
specialised in Hitofude Ryuu (一筆龍 / Dragon with one stroke). They´ve been
drawing Ryuu for four generations of masters and the man in the video is
the current shop owner.
The movement of the brush is just fascinating!”

I had to go to the video to see this – just wow!
That is amazing. I have no such talent xD
Wow!! I just can’t look away
Cool and superb video of a dragon being painted in one go – all my artists
and artist friends are going to be amazed by this – a master (or mistress –
hard to say) *Amazing*
thank you so much for finding this +annarita ruberto
I definitely want to buy a Japanese painting when I visit one day. I was
trying to navigate through the site, but I’m having a hard time. ;~; I’d
rather buy it in person!
edit: Just found an article in English about this place!

I am *definitely* coming here when I visit Japan!! All I have to decide for
now is which color dragon I’d want! xD The white/gold ones look so elegant
and the green/blue/red ones look powerful.
WTF is that magical brush
OMG It`s so freaking cool!
That wasn’t art, it’s MAGIC! The way the artist made dragon’s body was
simply brilliant!
I do not understand how this is humanly possible. That was amazing and the
giant brush freaked me out every time XD
What do the large characters translate to? Still amazed by the dual color
on the brush and single stroke technique to get the body.
That technique for the scales… wow O.O
Does anybody know what kind of paint he is using for the dragons body?
Me watching this: okay, okay…

You can do that with just one stroke?! (Body detail). Damn.
How did he get the scales and stuff on the body using one swipe
Really really proud of him as Japanese.
