	Sea of Japan naming dispute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In July 2001, Korea produced a report on the names used on maps published in Europe, mostly in the 18th century, possessed by the British National Library, claiming that of 377 maps which name the sea, 72 refer to it as "Sea of Korea" and/or "East Sea", and 10 use "Sea of Japan".
		In December 2002, South Korea produced a report on the names used on 228 maps published prior to 1800 that are held by the U.S. Library of Congress, claiming that two-thirds of the maps naming the sea used "East Sea", "Sea of Korea", or variants.
		Sea of Japan — Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs defends the use of "Sea of Japan".

		The name of the marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, bound by the Japanese islands of Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu and the Russian territory of Sakhalin island on the east, and the Korean peninsula and Russia on the west, is disputed.

	GC(39)/INF/24
		The sea area lying between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago is known as "Sea of Japan" at present.

	The Territorial Dispute Over Dokdo
		Although the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty between Japan and the former allied powers settled sovereignty over the islands of Ullungdo, Kommundo, and Chejudo (all to Korea), the ownership of Dokdo was not settled in the treaty.
		Japan´s ´acquistion´ of Dokdo resulted from an overall increase in Japanese aggression in Korea in the late 1800s, when Japan began to openly acquire monetary rights, railway, mining, and fishing concessions in Korea, in addition to conducting outright invasions of Korea´s outlying islands.
		The normalisation of relations with Japan was not popular among the Korean public, who demanded a definite territorial boundary between Korea and Japan (known as the ´peace line´, or ´Rhee line´), war reparations from Japan, and ownership of Dokdo on Korea's side of the peace line.

	Sea of Japan - Disputes Over the Name
		The body of water commonly referred as the Sea of Japan (Nipponkai (日本海) in Japanese) is called the East Sea (Donghae (동해; 東海) in Korean) in South Korea and the East Sea of Korea (Dongjoseonhae (동조선해; 東朝鮮海)) in North Korea.
		Japan argues that the term Sea of Japan was originally named by Westerners and became the de-facto standard before she gained political influence.
		At a 1919 meeting of the International Hydrographic Union to settle upon internationally acceptable names of bodies of water, Korea (at that time a Japanese colony) was represented by a Japanese delegate, who submitted the name "Sea of Japan" as the official name of the sea.

	Liancourt Rocks / Takeshima / Dokdo / Tokto
		Territorial disputes between Japan and China (Senkakus/Diaoyutai), between Japan and Korea (Takeshima/Tokdo), and between Japan and Russia (Southern Kuriles/Northern Territories) are the nub of extant regional security concerns.
		In Japan, it was in the 17th century that the name “Dokdo” appeared; at that time Ulleungdo was called 'Jukdo' and Dokdo was called 'Songdo'.
		Japan's renewed claim to Dokdo follows the discovery of large hydrocarbon deposits around the island, and to the rising nationalism in Japan.

		Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the First World War in 1914 and all the territories that Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China."
		Since the United States apparently considers the ROC, the PRC and Japan as being on an equal footing in their contest for sovereignty over Diaoyu/Senkaku, it should be possible for the disputants to agree to appear and argue their cases before some adjudicatory authority (such as the International Court of Justice).

	JWHALE Case
		Japan, the main opponent of the ban on whale hunting, has turned the matter into an issue of national pride.
		While the Institution of Catacean Research, which took over Japan's whaling activities when commercial catching was banned, argue that Japanese "research" fleet activities are in line with IWC "stipulations", disruptive activities are "unjustifiable".
		Although Japan stopped commercial whaling in 1986, it still hopes to resume a regulated hunt if it can persuade the IWC that the minke whale is not in danger.

		Broadening the dispute to another previously contested territory, the Masan council voted Friday to mark June 19 as Daemado Day, the Korean name for Japan's Tsushima islands just 30 miles off the southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula.
		South Korea's government responded angrily Thursday, equating Japan's claim to the islets to its lack of remorse over its conquest of Asia in the early 20th century.
		Japan's ties with its neighbor had been warming in recent years amid growing trade, and the fight over the islets could threaten the tourism boom spawned in part by the massive popularity of a South Korean soap opera.
