This thesis investigates image and symbol of tiger on the Chosun porcelain and other material and intends to chronicle the porcelain with tiger design through the analysis of the shape, color and style of porcelain. This attempts are to understand the characteristics of tiger design of white porcelain in each period of Chosun dynasty and date the painting and folk painting with tiger design. A tiger design had the auspicious and bixie image, and were used as the motifs of recordings of royal ceremony, embroidered patches on the breast and on the back of official uniforms and paintings. The expression of tiger seemed to influence the design of porcelain in the mingled use of tiger and leopard and the magpie and tiger and the smoking tiger. But there are definite differences among tiger designs on porcelain and paintings and other materials, in the description, structure, coloring and brush stroke of design. The tiger and bamboo design appeared on the porcelain with underglaze iron of the latter part of the 17th century and were sketched simply and roughly in horizontal composition with crane, cloud and white heron. In the middle of 18th century the tiger under the pine tree appeared on the blue and white. Next the representation of tiger mixed with leopard staring magpie was shown on the blue and white in the second half of 18th century. Even, instead of tiger, cat and magpie appeared with plum blossom and the landscape design on the porcelain of the second half of the 18th century.
