Tamna

Tamna is the old name of the island of Cheju, a volcanic land rising to Mount Halla off Korea's southern coast. After suppressing the Sambyŏlch'o resistance in 1273, the Mongols governed the island directly and restored the name Tamna. Under Joseon it was again called Cheju and became known for its horses. In 1702 Governor Yi Hyŏngsang commissioned a pictorial record of his inspection, including the island's pastures, military exercises and tribute of horses and citrus fruit.
