Hello. My
name is Yoon-se Kim in Hana Academy Seoul, the republic of Korea. Thank you for
your detailed information about Japan. I wrote this letter to you since I found
that the article included somewhat inappropriate word.

First of
all, the map written in Russia you suggest in the passage mentioned the sea between
South Korea and Japan as MER DU JAPON, which means ¡°Sea of Japan¡± in English.
In addition, while the word Sea of Japan was used for 5 times in your article,
I couldn¡¯t find the other word, EAST SEA. Waters between South Korea and Japan
cannot be defined as Sea of Japan because both countries have the ownership of
the sea. Also, actually the two islands in the East Sea (Ullengdo and Dokdo)
are the land of Korea. Thus, Sea of Japan is prejudiced word and we should use
East Sea which is much more neutral word. Japan argued that the sea should be
called as the Sea of Japan because they want to occupy it completely. However,
the East sea is better word than Sea of Japan as it is word based on the
geological characteristic (Eastern sea of East Asia) such as North Sea in
European continent.

history of Korea and Japan or the right notation of other words, please give
