I found that the sea between the Korean peninsula and
Japan was labeled as the ¡°Sea of Japan¡±, which should be corrected. ¡°East Sea¡±, the right name has been called over 2,000 years. After Japan started to invade Korea early 20th century, ¡°Sea of
Japan¡± was used. This expression is a reminder of Japanese colonialism and therefore should be refrained from wide use these days. Many historical maps and other evidences support this fact on naming this sea. |
