metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of a typical Chinese figurative motif — a dragon, in
  porcelain objects of the Ming and Qing dynasties and in works of Japanese ceramic art of the
  Meiji era. The approach to the study of decorative and applied art from the point of view of the
  motive has been repeatedly tested by the author when compiling typological series of antique
  motifs in the decorative and applied art of Russian classicism. The novelty of this article is
  that for the first time more than fifty Chinese and Japanese objects with dragons dating from
  the 14th — early 20th centuries originating from the National Museum of Chine, the Shanghai
  and Nanjing Museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum in Tokyo, the
  Victoria and Albert Museum, the State Hermitage Museum, as well as from several private
  collections. The following features were compared: posture, body position, color scheme, the
  nature of the background, as well as whether the dragon image is single or paired, the painting
  is made underglaze or overglaze, in the form of a flat or relief image. The early stage of the
  14th–16th centuries it does not allow us to find prototypes of dragon images in the past, but still
  the author has collected certain information about cases of reflection of the dragon theme in
  Chinese cultural monuments. The objects of the 18th and, especially, the 19th centuries serve
  as a good material to find in the art of the bygone eras of the Celestial Empire the previous
  artistic interpretations of dragons. In the final part of the article, an overview of dragon images
  in Japanese ceramic art is presented, the reasons for the migration of this motif caused by the
  victory of Japan, as a competitor, in the Far Eastern porcelain market are substantiated.
