In this paper a survey of three star maps produced in Korea in the mid-18th century as the results of interaction with the Jesuits in Beijing is briefly outlined. The first of these is the Honchðn Jðndo (abbreviated to HJ), a wood-cut print. The other two are large screen star maps, each consisting of 8 panels of a folding screen, called Screen Star Map Type 1 (abbreviated to SSM1) and Screen Star Map Type 2 (abbreviated to SSM2).
