	MOFA: The Issue of Takeshima
		Takeshima was en route to Utsuryo Island and was used as a stopover port and for fishing.
		Subsequently Takeshima appeared on the State Land Register, and a system of approval for sea lion hunting on Takeshima was introduced, which continued until its termination in 1941 due to the Second World War.
		Furthermore, in addition to reaffirming Japan's position concerning the sovereignty of Takeshima to the government of the Republic of Korea, a note verbale was issued strongly requesting that any further acts similar in nature to the issuance of the stamps would not be repeated again.

		Takeshima Tokai Yuraiki Bassho Hikae, written by Ōya Kyuemon, records that in 1618 the Tokugawa Shogunate granted the Ōya and Murakawa families fishing rights, and in 1661, feudal tenure, of "Takeshima", which then referred to Ulleung-do.
		During the Russo-Japanese War and increasing Japanese control over Korea, Takeshima was proclaimed a part of Shimane prefecture in Japan under the doctrine of terra nullius on January 28, 1905.
		In 2005, Japan's Shimane prefecture designated February 22 Takeshima Day, to commemorate the centennial anniversary of Japan's claim to the islets and boost public interest in Japan about the dispute.

		Takeshima is a group of small rocky islets off the coast of Sea of Japan, which is claimed by both Japan and South Korea.
		Takeshima, known in South Korea as Tok-do, first became a focus of territorial dispute in early 1950s, when Japan and South Korea both claimed sovereignty over the rocks.
		The assembly claims that Takeshima was integrated to the prefecture on that day exactly one hundred years ago, and it was natural for the prefecture to reclaim its lost territory.

		Takeshima islands are located in the Japan Sea midway between the "mainlands" of both countries.
		In 1905, Japan reaffirmed its intention to possess Takeshima by a Cabinet decision, followed by a notification by Shimane Prefecture officially incorporating Takeshima as part of the Prefecture.
		The direct reference was dropped in the treaty eventually signed for the reason that the rocks were too insignificant to be mentioned in the prestigious document, and there was no indication of change of policy by the US and its allies.

		In 1905, Japan's claim to sovereignty of Takeshima was reaffirmed as necessary measures of a modern nation state.
		In addition, the incorporation of Takeshima was reported in the newspapers and was not undertaken secretly, hence it is seen to have been implemented validly.

		The draft of the treaty had included Takeshima in territory to be taken from Japan, but it was deleted following protests by Japan that the island was historically an integral part of the country.
		However, Japan argues that the Chuk island mentioned in the imperial edict is not the Takeshima islands currently under dispute, which at that time was known by another name.
		But the book does not mention whether Takeshima was included in Usan, and the islands, which have no fresh water, show no traces of people having lived there.

		Takeshima is 157 kilometers northwest of Oki Island and 74km from South Korea's nearest island, and it consists of two small islets with a total area of 0.23 square kilometer, plus a scattering of rocks nearby.
		South Korea calls the incorporation of Takeshima null and void, since it was in no position at the time of its implementation to lodge strong opposition to Tokyo.
		Particularly, the prefecture has long requested that the central government give the same attention to Takeshima as it does to the Northern Territories, the four islands off Hokkaido that are held by Russia but claimed by Japan.

		The statement was made on April 25 in the wake of a compromise reached through vice ministerial negotiations on the bilateral dispute involving Japan's planned maritime surveys of the waters near Takeshima, a set of islets ruled by South Korea in the Sea of Japan.
		The declaration was in response to requests from fishermen who were operating in the waters surrounding Takeshima, as there was nothing indicating that the islets had been under occupation by any other country than Japan in the past.
		The facts show clearly that Takeshima came under Japanese rule before the colonization of South Korea by Japan, and there exists solid ground for Japan's assertion after the war that the islets are Japan's.

	How It Was - Tokdo Dispute History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The lord of Tsushima, who knew that Takeshima was but another name for Ullungdo, likely attempted to trick the Korean government into accepting in writing the existence of a Japanese-owned island named Takeshima, start a dispute over the possession of Takeshima alias Ullungdo, and finally absorb the island into his possession.
		Takeshima is about 160-ri (64km) from Oki but only about 40-ri (16km) from Korea; therefore, it can be considered Korean territory as it is nearer to that country.
		In 1905, under the name of Takeshima, the island was proclaimed by Japan under the terra nullius doctrine, which allows a country to assume control over land that is unclaimed.

		The fact is that South Korea still surrounds Takeshima island and considers itself legally and morally justified to threaten any Japanese ship -- fishing boat or scientific survey ship -- that comes near to "their" island.
		Takeshima was undisputed Japanese territory for several centuries.
		For the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Shimane prefecture’s incorporation of Takeshima, Shimane passed legislation declaring February 22nd to be a “Day of Takeshima.” This made South Korean officials irate.

	Harvard Asia Quarterly - Economic Dependence and the Dokdo/Takeshima Dispute Between South Korea and Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The unsettled sovereignty question of a small group of islands—known as Dokdo in Korea and as Takeshima in Japan—in the East Sea/Sea of Japan is one of the most fundamental barriers to better bilateral relations.
		For Japan, Takeshima may lack the degree of strategic and economic values and emotional appeal of Japan’s two other two territorial disputes that Japan has—namely the Northern Territories/Kurile Islands and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands.
		On February 5, 1977, Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda (1976-78) catalyzed the Dokdo/Takeshima dispute by remarking that “Takeshima is Japanese territory beyond all doubt.” Behind this provocative statement were the fishery problems and the emerging global trend towards a 200nm exclusive economic zone (EEZ) regime.

		But to Japan (which calls the islands Takeshima) and South Korea (which calls them the Dokdo) these rocks carry a symbolic importance that belies their practical insignificance.
		Yu Masuda, an administrator in the Shimane prefectural government, says the goal was simply "to generate some attention" within Japan for the region's fishermen who suffer from not being able to hunt in the disputed waters.
		Yet the Korean response to Takeshima Day was overwhelmingly bitter, with the local government's initiative perceived as evidence of Japan's widespread, unrepentant nationalism.

		It was during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, that Japan gave the name Takeshima to the islands, and this became one link in the process of colonization by which all Korea was controlled, turned into a protectorate, and then assimilated.
		After Japan's wartime defeat and the independence of Korea, a January 1946 edict from US occupation forces commander MacArthur, excluded Takeshima from the area of Japanese sovereignty.
		The Japanese government attitude of clinging to the claim of Takeshima as “intrinsically Japanese,” while shelving resolution of the problem for the time being and hoping for resolution by a change in the situation at some point in the future, amounts to averting our eyes from history.
