Today, almost like a map of the world get stuck into the early 20th century Japan was emerging as Asia's power to the late 19th century, ‘East Sea’, bodies of water.Widely known as the notation ‘Sea Of Japan (sea of japan)’.

In particular, 1929, International Hydrographic Organization (iho) is a first edition of “the border of the oceans and seas (limits of oceans and seas)” At that time the publication of our country is Japan's colonial in the basement with the international community.

Didn't have a chance to claim legitimacy of the name donghae to accelerate the spread is that the ‘Sea Of Japan’ of the international causes.

The "Border of Oceans and Seas" booklet was an international organization's decision to name the world's oceans.

At the time of publication of the second edition (1937), Korea was still under Japanese colonial rule, and at the time of the third edition (1953), it was during the Korean War.

Rebuild the country since the Korean War, we rightfully so that you can count is writing ‘East Sea’ constantly worked.

For instance, 1965, a fisheries agreement between Korea and Japan signing bi-lateral lateral ‘Sea Of Japan’ and the waters of the name ‘East Sea’ because he was unable to agree on at the time the cluster agreement for each of our own language.

Korea decided to use on the sidelines of the nomination ever, and private level, donghae been steps to restore its various activities, but to continue.

Thanks to this endeavor, the government in 1991, the 1992 UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in the East Sea for the first time marking issues after our members to the United Nations at international conferences.Will be raised.

I hope the word ‘sea of japan’ on your website will be corrected to the ‘east sea’ soon.

In these days when many people access information through the Internet, misrepresentations can be critical.
