Hello, I'm Jiyeon Ha, a student in Korea.

The website “Nippon" has many interesting topics and various news. So I think it’s very useful. But, I want to discuss some indication error. The “East Sea” and “Sea of Japan” has been used both of them currently, but there is only “Sea of Japan”.

South Korea's residence as the ancestors from a “East Sea” and has been living there. Therefore, the East Sea is already from 37 B.C. to an established term. In the 17th century, from the 19th century, most of the country use “Sea of Korea” or “East Sea” or “Sea of Joseon”. But by the late 19th century when Japan invaded and colonized Korea, they had a distinct influence in the international community from then on. Therefore, “sea of Japan” become more common. But now, many people and Korean are work hard to use the world "East Sea" including me.

The naming issue of the sea is still controversial. However, site “Nippon” write down only ‘Sea Of Japan’. I would appreciate your efforts to improve this a little bit and make it a more complete site. Thank you.

Sincerely, Jiyeon Ha
