Korean geographic cheonhado maps can be translated as “Maps of All-Under-Heaven”. They are a special phenomenon in Korean geography and culture, since the space presented on these maps is only partially real. They were widely distributed in the Korean kingdom of Joseon (1392-1897) in the 17th-18th centuries and were popular among the aristocracy until the beginning of the 19th century. It is impos-sible to navigate with them, and they were clearly not intended for this purpose. Cheonhado were often placed in family books and kept as some kind of important document. Despite the penetration of European maps and information about other continents and oceans into the country in the 17th century and the parallel existence of maps describing the real geography and position of the country relative to its neighbors, cheonhado maps resembled an illustration to the Chinese classic work Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing). This article presents a description of the cheonhado maps and attempts to explain why these maps were made in a special manner, through ideas about space and the dichotomy of “friend or foe”.
