Wooden box made of paulownia, the chosen tree of the legendary phoenix

Since ancient times, the phoenix has been worshiped as an auspicious omen.
According to legend, the phoenix would always build its nest in the paulownia tree.

Bonghwangdo paintings (phoenix paintings) from the Joseon Dynasty often showed a phoenix paired with the paulownia tree. These
works of art conveyed the fact that auspicious birds were always careful upon which tree they chose to rest on.

The Sulwhasoo VVIP Wooden Gift Box is not only made with paulownia wood, but it is also lacquered using precious oils extracted
from paulownia seeds, thus giving each box an even more dignified and premium feel to it.
