The Ch'onhado, literally 'Map of the world beneath the heavens', or sometimes Cheonha Jeondo, literally 'Complete map of the world beneath the heaven'), is a peculiar type of circular world map developed in Korea during the 17th century. It is based on the Korean term for map, chido, translated roughly as 'land picture'.
