This was a concept piece, when I found out my old Chess, made in Poland. Each 'dragon' from Mahjong game is one of these chess game variants.
The full title would be: "Three Great Dragons, Three Great Chess Variants"
Red Dragon - Japanese "Shogi"
Green Dragon - Chinese "XiangQi"
White Dragon - Western "Chess"
Why I'd made these dragons to the games? It's simple:
Red - red rising sun (Japanese flag).
Green - jade reminds Old China.
White - "white" Europe (do not take it as 'racist' commentary!).
PS. Yes, I know, all games has Indian roots.
