It is one of the four sacred guardian animals that symbolize the cardinal points in East Asia and is used in many decorations to pray for the dead souls. One of the examples is as an instrument in Jong-myo-jae-rae-ak. White tiger instrument 어 [ə] is a percussion made of wood, played at the very end of the performance to closure. But white tiger is also rarely found in nature.
Eversince Mohan, the first white tiger to be captured by humans in the, the number of white tiger increased through incestuous inbreeding. Mohans progenies born after artificially expressing the white tiger factor through inbreeding inherited large and small deformities.
