Boxes of this pattern and shape are extremely rare.

Compare to a square box decorated with boys at play from the Manno Art Museum, sold in these Rooms, 28 October 2002, lot 553. Another square box depicting a scholar and young attendants in the Tokyo National Museum, is illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, Kodansha Series, 1982, vol. 1, no. 126.
