[email protected] About the problem of the name of "Sea of Japan"
"East Sea" is the name based on a view from South Korean side,
from Japan side, it is the west side sea.
80 percents of maps in the world has been written
"Sea of Japan" since the beginning of 19c.
Since it is not the name based on colonial rule,
the opinion of South Korea is not true.
Primarily, There is no reason that the sea is called
"East Sea" in any areas other than the Korean Peninsula.
When the name called "Sea of Japan" is taken into consideration from the global standard,
it mainly means "the sea of Japan, South Korea, and the Russia coast."
It is never the meaning "the territorial waters in Japan" which South Koreans consider.
Therefore, the necessity of changing cannot be found out.
The notation of a map of the demerit by change etc. is large rather.
