Dear Madam. 

I am writing to inform you the mis- understanding you might have as I have read your statement in your thesis. 
 Japanese government's claim to Dokdo stated in your thesis is groundless and not true. 
Japanese claim is based on the authority granted by the Tokugawa Shogunate to cross the sea to Takeshima (Ulleungdo) in 1618 and Matsushima (Dokdo) in 1661. A Japanese named Otani, who lived in Yonago of Hoki Province, took refuge on Ulleungdo during a typhoon. Ulleungdo had been vacant since early Joseon because of the island evacuation order. Unaware of this, Otani believed Ulleungdo to be unoccupied. Along with Murakawa, who enjoyed a close relationship with officials of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Otani sought authority to sail to the island in 1616. Consequently, the governor of Hoki Province and officials of the Tokugawa Shogunate granted travel authority to the two families of Otani and Murakawa in 1618. They also applied for authority to travel to Matsushima, near Takeshima, which was granted in 1661. If Ulleungdo and Dokdo were the territory of Japan, why would special authority have to be granted to visit their own territory?


º»·Ð
Dokdo became the territory of Korea about 1,500 years ago when King Jijeung of Silla ordered Isabu to incorporate Usanguk into Silla in the 13th year of King Jijeung (512). It is recorded in Samguksagi (The History of the Three Kingdoms) as follows: "In June of the 13th year of King Jijeung, Usanguk submitted to Silla and decided to offer local products every year. Usanguk is an island due east of Myeongju (Gangneung today), and also called Ulleungdo." It is also recorded in Goryeosajiriji (Geographical Record of the History of Goryeo) that: "Usando and Mureungdo are two islands which are not far away from each other, so they can be seen when the weather is clear and no wind blows." Sejong-sillokjiriji (Geographical Record of the Annals of King Sejong) includes an entry: "The two islands, Usan and Mureung, are in the sea due east of the prefecture. They are not far away from each other so they are visible in clear weather. They were known as Usanguk in Silla." It is clearly recorded in the above-mentioned three historical references that Dokdo was incorporated into Korea during the reign of King Jijeung of Silla and that Usanguk encompassed Ulleungdo and Usando (Dokdo today).


. Dokdo also has administered during the Goryeo Dynasty.  
During the period of Goryeo, Ulleungdo paid tribute to the Goryeo Dynasty numerous times. The Goryeo Dynasty sought to establish an administrative district in Ulleungdo to directly oversee the region several times, but this was not realized due to the long distance and rough seas. During the period of Goryeo, Usanguk was also known to be composed of Ulleungdo and Usando.


°á·Ð
Therefore The Announcement of  Japanese government 'illegal seizure of Dokdo' by Korea is totally groundless and wrong.

Please understand  Dokdo is highly valued by the Korean.  First, Dokdo is a key forward base to assure Korean sovereignty over its territorial waters and EEZ, and to protect its fishing rights. Another reason is that it is a vast treasure trove of underground resources, such as solidified natural gas. Also,  it is a potential source of drinking water from deep underground.

Thank you for your research and your time reading my letter.
