Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is considered one of the most great, hard-working and famous Italian cartographers. He was responsible for many geographic works such as the 'Atlante Veneto', the 'Isolario', the 'Universal Course', the 'Singularities of Venice', and the book of the globes. This map depicts Japan and the Korean Peninsula and it seems to have been drawn according to the Blaeu-Martini model with other Jesuit sources. Great detail is given already to place names in Japan however very few are still known in Korea. The map depicts the administrative divisions, cities, villages, rivers and mountains.
