During the Joseon period, boxes such as the present lot were used by wealthy gentlemen as storage containers for tobacco, which has been grown and smoked in Korea since the early seventeenth century, when it was introduced from Japan. Such boxes are typically decorated with auspicious motifs, while the present lot is considerably rarer in that it depicts four mythical (or at least distinctively mythologized) animals, each depicted in East Asian art since antiquity: the dragon, deer, turtle, and crane.
