• Die Vorderseite des Tuck Cases zeigt prominent den Begriff 'hak', was in Korean für Kranich bedeutet, geschrieben im Hangul- Alphabet, das während der Joseon-Dynastie entwickelt wurde. An den oberen und unteren Rand sind zwei Kraniche angebracht, Symbole für Langlebigkeit und Glück im Ostasiatischen Kulturkreis.
\n
• Die Seiten des Tuck Cases zeigen Bilder von Japsang, Wächtern auf den Dächern der königlichen Paläste, die Schutz gegen böse Geister boten und ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Palastarchitektur waren. Das Spiegel-Backen Design integriert Kraniche und acht Japsang mit Irworobongdo (Ir-wor-o-bong-do), einem Himmelszelt hinter dem königlichen Thron während der Joseon-Dynastie, das die Sonne, den Mond und fünf Gipfel darstellt. Diese Malerei symbolisierte eine Balance im Universum mit dem König am Zentrum.
