In fact, East sea is a Korean
territory since the Joseon Dynasty. In Sejong Silok (record of King Sejong),
there shows apparent materials about Joseon territory. In materials,
silla(the period of the three states in Korean history) conquered the kingdom
of Woosan(an old name for Ulleungdo) and¡¯ annexed East sea. Even, Japan
acknowledged that fact in some publications such as ¡°eunjusicheonghabgi¡±(1667). Through this fact, I can find the term ¡°Sea of Japan¡± which is often use in Japan
is just a restraint. So, I entreat you to change the term ¡°Sea of Japan¡±.
