Formaly the southern portion of Sahalien belonging to Japan, but this was ceded to Russia in 1875, certain of the Kurile Island group being granted in return. The Empire of Japan thus has an  area estimated at more than one hundred and fifty-five thousand square miles, and lies between 24.6-50.56 nothern latitude and 122.45-156.32east longtitude. . It is bounded on the north by the Sea of Okhotsuk, on the east by the North Pacific Ocean, on the south by the eastern Sea of China, and on the west by the Sea of Japan.

Japan occupies a striking position in these currents which flow northward from the Indian ocean and the Malay peninsula. That branch of the great Pacific equatorial current called the Kuro Shiwo, or dark tide or current, on account of its color, flows in a westerly direction past Formosa and the Liu Kiu islands, strikinig a branch up the Sea of Japan. With great velocity it scours the east coast of Kiushiu and the south of Shikoku; these with diminished rapidity it envelopes the group of island south the Bay of Yeddo; and flows northeast towards the shores of America, ultimately giving to our own Pacific coast states a far milder climate than the corresponding latitudes on the Atlantic coast.

For many a year the country of Coreah as been known in little more than name. Its territory is a peninsula on the east coast of Asia, between China on the continent, and the Japanese islands to the east ward. It extends from thirty-four degrees and thirty minutes to forty-three degree north latitude, and from one hundred and twenty-four degrees and thirty minutes to one hundred and thirty degree and thirty minutes east. longtitude, between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. The Yellow Sea separates in front the southern provinces of China, while the Sea of Japan and the Strait of Corea separate it from the Japanese islands. It has a coast line of about one thousand seven hundred and forty miles. and a total area of about ninety thousand square miles. The peninsula, with its outlying islands, is nearly equal in size to Minesota or to Great Britain. In general shape and relative position to th Asiatic continent in resembles Florida. Tradition and geological indications lead to the belief that an-ciently the Chinese promontory and province of Shan-tung, and the Corean peninsula were connected , and that dry land once covered the space filled by the waters joining the Gulf of Pechili and the Yellow Sea. These waters are so shallow that the elevation of their bottoms but a few feet would restore their area to the land surface of the globe. On the other side also, the Sea of Japan is very shallow and the Straits of Corea at their greatest depth have but eighty-three feet of waters. The east coast is high mountains, and but slightly intended. very few island or harbours. The south and west shores are deeply and mainfoldly scooped and fringed with numerous island. From these island-skirted shores, especially on the west coast, mud banks extend out to sea beyond sight . While the tide on the east coast is very slight, only two feet at Gensan, it increases on south and west coast in a north directon, rising to thirty-three feet at Chemulpo. The rapid rise and fall of tides. and the vast area of mud left bare at low water, cause frequent fogs, and render the numerous inlets little available except for native craft. On the west coast the rivers are frozen in winter, but the east coast is open the whole winter through.

For several years past the Russians had made such continuous progress in Tartary as greatly alarmed the Corean government for its own independence. Annexation followed annexation, until the Russians were very near the western frontiers of Corea, and touched upon the littele river which forms the boundary of the province of Ham-Kieng. In January 1866, a Russian vessel entered the port of Ouen-San, on the Sea of Japan, and dispatched the Corean Government a peremptory letter demanding that its ports be open to Russian vessels, and that Russian merchants be allowed to establish themselves in the country.

The beautifully clear waters of the wide and deep Yaloo separate Corean from Chinese soil, along its course from its source in Changbaishan to the point where it falls into the Yellow Sea near Takushan. The Toomun, also rising in Changbaishan, separates the northern border of Corea from both Chinese and Russian territory. The Japan Sea devides it from Japan, and the Yellow Sea washes its south ans south-west coasts.

(P392)
The following notes on the coast of Corea are gleaned out of the China Pilot, published by the Admiralty, London. Those on the east coast are principally from the surveying voyage of the Russian frigate Pallas, which sailed along the shore in 1854; which survey was indirectly, the cause of the murder of the French missionaries (P.293) Chosan harbour, another name for Foosan, is pronounced one of the most important of Corean ports, because it is the entrepot of the Japanese trade; - but that was in the nd of the eighteenth century, when Broughton gave it that name. The neighbouring shores are populous, spotted with many villages, by which numerous streams fall into the sea. The coast for full sixty miles N.E of this harbour is very mountainous and barren desert. CAPE CLONARD , in lat. 36 5 3/4N is south side of the Bay of Unkofsky, which is four miles wide at the mouth, trends south-west with good anchourage in deep water, though the neigbourhood of the cape is unsafe. PIINGHAI harbour, sheltered by an island, is 30 miles further north than Clonard, the shores steep and the water deep. The high mountain Popof is west of CAPE PELISSIER, to the north of Unkofsky bay. Thence the the desolate coast runs 120 miles NNW to Cape Duroch. Sedlovoya, or Saddle-mountain , rises high in lat 38 10 1/2 N. DUROCH is the cape forming the southern point of Broughton Bay, which is ninety-three miles wide and fifty-five miles deep. Twenty-four miles W.N.W from CAPE PETIT THOUARS, the north of Broughton Bay, rises MT.Hienfung, 8113 feet high; the Belavenz mountains, fifteen miles S.W of Cape Duroch, being 5092 and 5884 feeet. Immidiately to the north of Broughton Bay is YUNGHING BAY, with the excellent harbour of Port Lezaref, into which falls the large Dungan river, its various braeches occupying the whole plain between two ranges of hills, and winding from one side to the other . ..................... .here Pallas finished her survey.

Corea stretches from 33.15 to 42.31 N. lat; and 122.15 to 131.10 E long. Hence the greatest length of its mainland is as the bird flies, about 600 miles , and greatest breadth , east to west ,over 300 miles. The Chinese account is therefore not so far out, when we remmber that the calculation is along the road, which, in so mountainous a coutry, has necessarily many winding turns between Onseng and Hainam.

2010.10.11慶北日報の岡本教授発言の改ざんと歪曲

【韓国】「東海、東アジア地中海と呼ぼう」 岡本福岡大教授、延烏郞と細烏女セミナーで主張 [10/11]

との記事が出ていますが、これ、福岡県立大学 岡本雅享本人に問い合わせを行った結果、(問い合わせ、というか、そもそも日露戦争以前に日本の学校の教科書ですでに日本海を教えていること、そして海 図・水路誌などでもきちんと記載があること、韓国側も日本海の名前を日露戦争以前に使っていたこと等の指摘から始まったやり取りではあるのですが)一部慶北新聞が、氏がセミナー及び当日資料として提出した論文で主張していないことを慶北新聞が書いていることの事(岡本教授本人談)でした。

まず新聞報道ですが、

岡本福岡大教授
"동해, 동아시아 지중해로 부르자"
「東海を、東アジア地中海と呼ぼう」

오카모토 후쿠오카대 교수 연오랑세오녀 세미나서 주장
기사입력 | 2010-10-11

記事入力| 2010-10-11


"한국에서 '동해', 일본에서 '일본해'로 부르고 있는 동해를 '동아시아 지중해'로 부르자고 제안 합니다."
「韓国で「東海」、日本で「日本海」と呼んでいる東海を、「東アジア地中海」と呼ぶことをと提案します。」

오카모토(岡本雅亨) 후쿠오카대 교수는 지난 8일 포항시청 대회의실에서 열린 연오랑세오녀연구소 주최 한일국제세미나에서 이 같은 주장을 펴 관심을 끌었다.
岡本雅亨福岡大教授は、去る8日、浦項市庁の大会議室で開かれた延烏郞(ヨノラン)細烏女(セオニョ)研究所主催の韓日国際セミナーで、このような主張をして関心を引いた。

오카모토 교수는 "일본은 1904년 러시아와의 해전에서 승리한 것을 기념해 '동해'를 '일본해'라고 부르기 시작했다"면서 "그 이전에는 일본인들이 동해를 '북해'라고 불렀다"고 밝혔다.
岡本教授は、「日本は、1904年、ロシアとの海戦で勝利したのを記念して、「東海」を「日本海」と呼び始めた」としたうえで、「それ以前には、日本人たちは、東海を「北海」と呼んでいた」とのべた。

또 "일본의 '일본해' 표현은 역사적으로 문제가 있다"면서 "한국과 일본 사이에 논란이 되고 있는 동해를 '동아시아 지중해'로 부르자"고 주장했다.
また、「日本の「日本海」という表現は、歴史的に問題がある」として、「韓国と日本の間に論議になっている東海を、「東アジア地中海」と呼ぼう」と主張した。

오카모토 교수는 지도를 거꾸로 놓고 보면 유럽과 아프리카 사이에 있는 지중해와 그 모양이 흡사하다면서 한일 간의 표기문제 해결 방법으로 이 같은 안을 내 놓았다.
岡本教授は、地図を逆に置いてみれば、ヨーロッパとアフリカの間にある地中海とその形が似ているとして、韓日間の表記問題解決方法としてこのような案を出した。

오카모토 교수는 "지도를 보면 한국과 일본은 가깝고도 먼 나라가 아니라 가깝고도 가까운 나라"라면서 "양국간 서로 이해의 폭을 넓혀가야 할 것"이라고 주장했다.
岡本教授は、「地図を見れば、韓国と日本は近くて遠い国でなく、近くて近い国だ」として、「両国間で互いに理解の幅を広げていくべきだろう」と主張した。


そもそも、福岡県立大教授であるにもかかわらず、「福岡大」と、この時点で間違っています。

岡本氏本人が説明するには、セミナーで当日提出された論文は
島国観再考――内なる多文化社会論構築のために
http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/40016981340

であり、日本海呼称問題の部分に関しては以下の通りになります。
この内海はその後、「不幸な歴史」の舞台となり、戦後は東西冷戦の中で「人を隔てる海」となった。しかし、それは 人類の歴史の中でみれば、ごく一時期のことであり、冷戦が終わり、日本で韓流ブームが起こるなどの状況変化も見れば、この内海が数十年後、100年後も 「人を隔てる海」であり続け、内海の対岸が「近くて遠い国」であり続ける可能性は、かえって小さい。その際、遅くとも8世紀初頭以来の古称「北ツ海」に比 べれば、圧倒的に歴史の浅い(1904年の日露戦争後に普及した)「日本海」という呼称も25、「東亜地中海」(East- AsiaMediterranean)などと呼びかえていくべきだろう。


では新聞報道を見てみます。
岡本教授は、「日本は、1904年、ロシアとの海戦で勝利したのを記念して、「東海」を「日本海」と呼び始めた」としたうえで、「それ以前には、日本人たちは、東海を「北海」と呼んでいた」とのべた。
また、「日本の「日本海」という表現は、歴史的に問題がある」として、「韓国と日本の間に論議になっている東海を、「東アジア地中海」と呼ぼう」と主張した。


この部分は、岡本氏の主張と異なります。岡本氏は
遅くとも8世紀初頭以来の古称「北ツ海」に比べれば、圧倒的に歴史の浅い(1904年の日露戦争後に普及した)「日本海」という呼称も25、「東亜地中海」(East-AsiaMediterranean)などと呼びかえていくべきだろう。

と当日の提出した資料にあります。つまり岡本氏は「日本海」が普及したのが日露戦争後である、としています。つまりそれ以前から当然使用されていたことを前提に書いているわけなのですが、慶北新聞は、ここをプロパガンダのためかはわかりませんが、1904年、ロシアとの海戦で勝利したのを記念して、「東海」を「日本海」と呼び始めたと氏が述べていないことを書いています。
まあ、岡本氏の主張する日本海海戦以降に「日本海」が普及した、ことも説明が付きません。そもそも、すでに福沢諭吉が1874年に世界国尽を書かれてから、日本の教科書に は日本海がきちんと記載され教えられているのです。また、日本の海図・水路誌などにも同様に日本海の記載があるのです。こういうのも平気で無視していま す。
http://seaofjapan-noeastsea.blogspot.com/2008/12/index-fo...
http://sites.google.com/site/japanseamerdujapon/Home/japa...

(*予断ですが、氏は、私が「大韓帝国も「日本海」を教科書で使用していた、」と提示したところ、ご存じなかったようです。日本海関連のお話を書くときは、きちんと相手の教科書もどうであったのか確認してから書く必要があるでしょう。それくらいはしていただきたいものです。)

また、岡本氏が主張する、東亜地中海と云う名称自体、使用された歴史は、一部の学者以外にはほぼないわ けですから、それよりも長く使用されてきた「日本海」との比較の対象になりえません。 ゆえに、日本海と比較対象になるのは、それよりも長い「遅くとも8 世紀初頭以来の古称「北ツ海」を出すべきですが、このあたり、岡本氏はご自身の自己矛盾についてわかっていらっしゃらない様です。


また、「日本の「日本海」という表現は、歴史的に問題がある」として、「韓国と日本の間に論議になっている東海を、「東アジア地中海」と呼ぼう」と主張した。

に関して言えば、、「東アジア地中海」とは主張しているものの、歴史的に問題がある」とは氏は主張していないとの話です。これも慶北新聞の勝手な捏造部分になります。


冷戦が終わり、日本で韓流ブームが起こるなどの状況変化
も見れば、この内海が数十年後、100年後も「人を隔てる海」であり続け、内海の対岸が「近くて遠い国」であり続ける可能性は、かえって小さい。


逆にインチキ寒流ブーム成るものは韓国に対して冷淡な層を増やすことにつながり、かつ、韓国側は北東アジア歴史財団等が反日プロパガンダをますます増進さ せ、竹島の侵略のみならず日本海呼称の剽窃のための反日プロパガンダを行っていること、そして、日本人を拉致し、核で恫喝を行っている北朝鮮という現状が あることは、近くて遠い国であり続ける可能性が小さくなるとは現在の段階では根拠に乏しいです。もちろん将来的な変化によって状況は変わるかもしれませんが。


いくつかは韓国側報道による発言の改ざんがあるものの、趣旨としては韓国の主張する「日本海」の呼称抹殺のために手を貸している人間であることは変わりま せん。そして、この論文自体の趣旨は、呼称問題の話ではなく、島国根性にたいする、どちらかと云うと反日的な批判論文であります。また、岡本教授とやら は、外国人関係のきな臭い集まりに結構顔を出している方のようでそのあたりに留意しておく必要はあります。 (朝鮮人学校無料化とか政策移民関係、また、 在日朝鮮人問題関係の集まり等にちらほら名前が出てきます))

"some pessmist lately was depreciating the claims of modern mechanics to the panegyrics commonly bestowed. To his fancy the markers of interoceanic canals and intercontinental railways seem conspirators bent on defrauging the globe of its rightful dimensions.He sees no good in having the world made smaller to traverse; and the Through Siberian line must not expect eulogy from him. To most minds, without heed of the motives of its designers, it will appear a magnificent conception and a large future boon to humanity. It is no light thing that the transit, whether for plreasure or for business, from London to the shores of the Sea of Japan ashould be able to be accomplished in eighteen days. Englishmen will admire; they need not be envious. For them the moral is that England, while not grudging to Russia, or declining to profit by, and advantages of the undertaking, should employ speedily its own means for effectiong analogus abridgments of time and space. Many correspondents are prepared to remind the British public of the profit the Empire might derive, for instance, from a railway alon the Euphrates Valley.

Probably at no distant period those Powers which have an interest at stake in Eastern Asia will beompelled, with or against their will, to take into consideration what may be termed the Corean question-we may hope ere it is too late. The whole of the East Coast as far as the Tumen is already in the posession of Russia; a very small army and a few war-vessels are all that is required to occupy and hold permanently the Corean peninsula,kand if Russian chooses, she may at any moment make herself master of the entire Eastern Coast of Asia down to the Sea of Japan. And rather than see the present state of things continues, it might be preferable to have the Corea taken possession of by Russia;;at all events, it would then be made accessible, and cease to continue a monckery to the world.

II have already mentioned that most of the Coreans claim to be in complete darkness and ignorance of their own origin; some declare quite seriously tha their ancestors have sprung from a black cow on the shores of the Japan Sea, while others again, and notably the larger and more important families, ascribe their origin to a somewhat mysterious and supernatulral cause. Those legends, very serously transmitted and related, enjoy to this day a kind of lauful acknowledgement and recognition, as many well informed native assert; with the lower classes, however, they find no belief, and are explained and commented upon by the people in a manner irreverant as well as prosaic.

I was surprised at the large number of whales in the Japan Sea, north of Cape Peliseier. In one forenooon, I counted as many as fourteen, sperm and scragland during the voyage, without keeping a special lookout, twenty-four. The large oyster, which abounds in the great harbour of Genzanshin, is equal to the second quality of American oyster. With respect to the large pearls of Corea, to which frequent allusion is made in Chinese history, I found nonel; ornaments, in fact, being rare, limited to several only for the hair and hat, of jade, tortoise-shell, lead, and felspar.

With Gilbert and Foster to translate, and Willis to or-ganize a carrying combine, they were pushed to the far-thest limits of the land. A way up on the Yalu they were to be found papering the walls, sometimes upside down and inside out, but, "never mind, send on more";on to distant Russia, and away east into the little hamlets by the Sea of Japan.

Steamers of from four to seven hundred tons, manned partly by Japanese, partly by Korens, make two or three trips a week, starting from Chemulpo. He would take one of these and join the frineds who had gone before him, and add his hallelujah. How glorious the day! A lovely summer sun shimmerered across the Yellow Sea and sampans with their sails tripped the shadows here and there.

Kin Pu0suj the greatest, perhaps, or the Koryo writers, to whom we owe ther invaluable Sam--guk-sa wrote also a complete novel in one volume entitled Puk-chang-sung or "The story of the Loug North Wall". This may properly be called and historical novel. for  Korea once boasted a counterpart to the Great Wall of China and it extended from the Yellow Sea to the Japan Sea across the whole of nothern Korea.

1900-1905年ころの鬱陵島詳細図と、ある疑問

大韓全図と分道詳密韓国新地図の間の空白を埋める地図はどの地図なのか?

このブログでも紹介した以下の二つの鬱陵島が書かれた地図がある。
1907.年の『大韓新地誌』と、1906-07年の.國語讀本である。
1907.『大韓新地誌』張志淵
慶尚北道図 韓国国立中央図書館 古朝61-84

There are two Detailed Ulleungdo map, one is Daehan-sin-Jisi (1907) and Korean Language Reading (1906-1907).




これら、1906年の国語読本の江原道付属圖・並びに1907年の大韓新地誌の慶尚道付属図・
に記載されている鬱陵島図は、
1905.09.17.の分道詳密韓国新地図 青木恒三郎編 大阪:青木嵩山堂
がその元だと考えられる。しかしながら、この分洞詳密韓国新地図の鬱陵島が明確にどの地図からの引き起こしなのか、わからない。

We can confirm the original design of These two Detailed Ulleungdo map above, is Bundo-Syo-mitsu Kankoku Sin Tizu (New detailed provincial map of Korea, 1905).




この地図に非常に似ている地図が、以下二つの地図
1904.第15艦隊鬱陵島見取り図(明治三十七年海戦史) 1906.05.26欝陵島見取り図 奥原
である。 奥原の地図は、分道詳密韓国新地図よりも後に発行されており、
一方、第十五艦隊鬱陵島見取り図は分道詳密韓国新地図よりも前に出ている。



There are another two map which desgins resemble to ;
One is No 15th fleet Ulluengdo outline map (1904) and Outline map of Ulluengdo (1906). No.15th fleet map is older than "New Korean detailed map". Okuhara's Ulluengdo outline map (1906) is newer than "New Korean detailed map"


この二つの地図には山などの詳しい描写は記載されて居ない一方で、
分道詳密韓国新地図よりも地名が詳しく書かれている。おそらくは調査委を行ってそれを反映した地図であると考えられる。
また、海中に記載された数字からもわかるように、おそらくは水深を測っている可能性がある。
しかし、分道詳密韓国新地図の下になったような地図が出てこないのである。

These two outoline map doesnt describes the detail of geography information, although there are richer infomation of Ulluengdo detailed place of names than "New Korean detailed Map" In the sea there are depth information. We dont know which detailed Ulluengdo map the Aoki reference to design.



1904.15艦隊鬱陵島見取り図(明治三十七年海戦史)(左、もしくは上)
1906.05.26欝陵島見取り図 奥原 (右、もしくは下)


これらは、少なくとも1904年ころの地勢認識を反映したものだと考えられる。
1902年の鬱陵島調査においては、鬱陵島の地名の詳細の記載はあるものの、添付図がない。
そして、1900年には日本側も赤塚が略地図を作製し、鬱陵島の地名を記載している。

those two map show the information of Ulluengdo around 1904-1905 at least.

1900年06月12日 在釜山 領事官補 赤塚正助 鬱陵島調査槪況山林調査槪況報告件の添付圖


しかしながら、この赤塚の鬱陵島地図が、1904年の第15艦隊鬱陵島見取り図や1905.の分道詳密韓国新地図とデザインが根本的に異なっていることは明白である。


これより以前の鬱陵島の詳細図が、
1880年の戦艦天城の調査による鬱陵島東岸圖
https://sites.google.com/site/takeshimaliancourt/_/rsrc/1285666733400/Home/takeshima-koushou/Ulluengdomatsushimajukdo.jpg?height=320&width=285
があるが、これは東岸の記載しかないので、比較の対象には入れにくい。


また、1883年には、李奎遠の鬱陵島調査二より作成された鬱陵島外図(左、もしくは上)と、日本側調査員である桧垣巡査の鬱陵島圖(右、もしくは下)があるが、
この二つの地図は、ともに鬱陵島は長方形のデザインで共通している。



1900年06月12日 在釜山 領事官補 赤塚正助 鬱陵島調査槪況
は若干四角いデザインとも云えるかもしれないが、

しかしながら、この1883年の李奎遠の鬱陵島調査二より作成された鬱陵島外図と、桧垣巡査の鬱陵島圖は、デザインが縦長の長方形に対し、赤塚のそれは横長の長方形で有るゆえやはり異なる。1900年の地図は、1900年の調査の時に作ったとみるのが妥当であろう。

そして、1883年のこの二枚の調査地図並びに1900年の赤塚の鬱陵島地図が、1904年の第15艦隊鬱陵島見取り図や1905.の分道詳密韓国新地図とデザインが根本的に異なっていることは明白である。

これらことを考えると、1900年の赤塚正助の地図以降に、
1904年の第15艦隊鬱陵島見取り図や1905.の分道詳密韓国新地図の元となる、詳細地図があるのではないか、と予想する。


全くの推測にすぎないのであるが、その候補と考えられるのが
まずは1899年から1900年のYu-Jongtongの鬱島記を書いたときに、もしかしたら付属図があったかもしれないし、
また、1902年の日本側調査の時に、地名は詳細に述べられているものの、添付図がないことから、
これら二つに何かヒントがあるのではないか・とも思う。

SUPERSTITION AND BELIEFS

Englishmen were not the sole navigators who were attracted by the unknown character  of the land, and the surpassing dangers of the waters, around the Island of Quelpart, wherre the Sea of Japan mingles in tempestu-ous chaos with the Yellow Sea. Russian and French navigators also worked their way throught the danger-ous shoals and quicksands, along the tortuous and muddy rivers, into the harbours and throught the narrow straits which hold back these islands from the main land. The shores teem with the distinguished name of men of science and sons of the high seas.  Following the curl and twist of its configuration a host of buried names are revealed, the last evidence of men who are dead and forgotten. It is infinitely patheric that even this one last resting-place should b e denied to their reputations. ,who shares Broughton's Bay; Unkoffsky, who foundered in the waters of the bay which is described by his name; the ill-fated La Perouse, who, in June, 1787, discovered in the Sea of Japan an island which now bears the name of the astronomer-Dagelet. Durock, Pelisier, Schwartz, and the rest- what echo do we find of them, their fates, and subsequent careerrs? Should not their names at least bear witness to their pains and labours, to the difficulties which they faced, to the small joy of something attempted something done, wich was their sole consolation for may hours of cheerless and empty vigil?

Chapter Ⅲ SOUL FROM THE CITYWALL
http://www.archive.org/stream/quaintkorea00milnrich#page/34/mode/2up/search/japan

Korea is a most distressingly hilly country.
If you elect to go for a decent stroll,
it is a matter of climbing a hill,and
when you reach the summit of the hill
it is a matter of tumbling down the other side,
to scramble up another hill, and and downs,
even though you go north until you reach the
" Ever White Mountain," and, in reaching it,
reach the " River of the Duck's Green,"
which, flowing towards the south,divides Korea
from China; reach the Tu Man Rang which,
flowing towards the north-east, divides Korea
from the territory of the Tsar. Up and down
it will be, even though you push east
until you reach the purple " Sea of Japan."
Still up and down you will find it,
although you go as far south, or as far west,
as Korea goes, and find yourself
on the shores of China's " Yellow Sea."
Korea looks like a stage storm-at-sea.
Its hills are so many that they lose their grandeur,
as individuality is lost in multitude.
