October-December 2009 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume I., Issue 4. _____________________________________________________________________________________ The three main actor countries in our new booklet are: China, Japan and Korea. The ancient arts from the first two countries were shown in our series, but their inexhaustable heritage resounds again and again. The fragments of life appear in these arts in an alloyed form. Alloyed from the local people and the conquesting soldier or warrior people who organized state life. There are recognizable fregments from the art of the conqueror peoples and from the arts of the local peoples. The art of the conquerors are shown in the articles of the arms, horse mount, mostly from steppe art traditions, the art of the local people is represented in the life fragments of agriculture, house farming. Both traditions are alloyed in the industrial technologies. Fig. 2.
