 | | Meanwhile, Professor Kim Moon-gil of the Department of Japanese of the Pusan University of Foreign Studies disclosed to the public on Sunday an original map of the Korean peninsula produced by a leading Japanese geographer Shihei Hayashi in 1785. |
 | | On this map, the Korean peninsula is colored in yellow, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, located 39 degrees north latitude, are marked as one big island (Usanguk) while the sea to the right is indicated not as the Sea of Japan but as the East Sea. |
 | | Professor Kim said, “The fact that Ullungdo and Usando (Dokdo) are marked as one big island proves that the Japanese people at that time acknowledged Ullungdo and Dokdo as Korean territory.” Professor Kim purchased this map in a vintage bookstore when he visited Japan last year. |
