Tuho (투호) or Touhu (Chinese: 投壺) is a traditional Chinese and Korean game that requires players to throw sticks into a large, sometimes ornate, canister. The game is a traditional diversion on Korean New Year's Day and Chuseok. Modern versions are often played with a simple canister and rubber-tipped arrows. The arrows used are usually between 50 and 60 cm long, and are thrown at the arrow vase from around ten paces away.[1]
Tuho was also a popular drinking game.[2] For every arrow that missed the pot, the loser or bulseung (불승/不承, lit. no-success) had to take a drink.[2] To prevent betting on the outcome, losers could opt to sing a song as a penalty instead.[2] Players who did not miss the canister were called hyeon (현, lit. wise).[2]
History
Tuho appears to have come to Korea from China during the Goryeo period, in 1116 CE, and was popularised by King Yejong. The king's patronage made the previously banned game into a popular courtly pastime, until the influence of the Yuan dynasty once again diminished tuho's popularity.[3]
In the fifteenth century, the Joseon dynasty revived the game at court, promulgating it as a creation of Confucianism. It was defended from criticism by King Jungjong in 1518, who reaffirmed its respectability and its Confucian connotations. Popularity at court enabled the game to spread through the scholarly and lay community, although the Sarim scholars of the Late Joseon period dismissed it as frivolous. Despite this tuho was a favourite pastime of the scholar Yi Hwang, who recommended it to his students as a way to develop physical health and mental focus. Tuho was featured (along with Yi Hwang) on the 1000 won note from 1983-2002, but was left off of the newest version of the 1000 won note which was first issued January 22, 2007.[4] It was also recommended by Jeong Yak-yong, in his Mongmin Simseo ("Admonitions on Governing the People").[3]
Arrow vases sometimes feature in the sculptural imagery of norigae accessories, where they symbolise the rejection of bad fortune.[5][6]
