Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the influence of the culture of China and Korea on the formation of the ancient Japanese bronze culture. Based on samples of Japanese bronze funerary dokyo mirrors presented in museums in Japan and the Republic of Korea, the main characteristic features of Japanese bronze casting art of this period were deduced, as well as forms of influence and borrowing of cultural elements from Korea and China were identified.
