 한국의 어업보호정책:평화선 선포,1949-52　(The Fishery protectoin policy by South Korea govt; "Peace line" declaration 1949-52 and the document number :04580132 which describes the name of Japan Sea(日本海）

Although document No.04580007 and 04580072 dercribes East Sea(Sea of Japan), Korea recognizes the Japan Sea is international standard name and Dong-hae/East Sea is just a Korean-only domestic names because they use the name of Sea of Japan those maps.

here is the list of description of Sea of Japan on Korean records before annexatoion on 1910.
Korean use the name of "Sea of Japan" before annexation "

It is appear that Korean claims the name of "Sea of Japan" is forced to be changed by Japan Imperial as a result of annexation , is proven to be distorture.Korean claim

Korean text said it is "日本海”Sea of Japan"

There are three edition of 輿載撮要 on Korean national digital library site.


1 and 3 (1887/1863) is almost same, and no.2 is different(year unknown) .Number 2 may be complete set of 輿載撮要 I think.


Number 2 (Year undated 1886c.a. claimed by Mr Gerry Bevers) version have a Grobe map and world maps.
Both of them describes 日本海（Sea of Japan)

By the way this 1887 edition have only Western part map and eastern (Asian) part map was lost. Why they dont have the map? lol

???Korean claims the name of "Sea of Japan" was forced by Japan annexation era??? It is idiot claim. Korean already use "Sea of Japan" in their official geography books beforea annexation of 1910.

Remarks;　Korean use the name of "Sea of Japan"

1895.Great Korean Imperial taught Sea of Japan in their textbooks.

Revisionist Korean claims with distorture that "Sea of Japan" is colonial name which the name Japan forced Korea under annexation after 1910.　But..It is obvious the claim is wrong because Daehan Imperial (Great Korean Imperial/大韓帝國) taught it Sea of Japan(日本海) in the school textbooks!

I already introduced some Korean geography text books on my past posts, this morning I found new description of "Sea of Japan"(日本海） in Great Korean Imperial （大韓帝国）govermental textbook!

1899.海東志
(Quote from Kyuujanggak website:＜江河＞항목에서 豆滿江을 국경하천으로 소개하지 않고 5대강의 하나로만 서술한 것으로 볼 때 19세기 말 20세기 초에 우리나라의 역사지리에 대한 관심이 높아져 가고 있었던 사상적 분위기를 반영하는 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 東海를 ‘日本海’라고 표기하는 등 표현상 혼란이 나타나므로 편찬주체나 목적에 대해서는 명확히 단정하기는 어렵다. (정재훈)

1899-1906 Daehanjisi大韓地誌　【Great Korean Geography (official)

Above those two famous Korean textbook also uses Sea of Japan. It is not only textbook which use Sea of Japan but also many variety of Great Korean Imperial’s official document and Newspaper in Korea. It is because Sea of Japan had already been defacto standard at that time so they use Sea of Japan in various documents: check here ( By Nidanosuke).

第三章 境界

我國은 東西 及 南面이 日本海에 臨고 其 南端의 海角이 日本 對馬島와 相對야 海峽을 成 處 卽 朝鮮海峽이라 此를 日本人이 西水道（부롱돈 海峽）라 云니 此間의 距離 二百十四里에 不過며 西南은 黃海에 枕야 支那에 山東省, 江蘇省과 遙遙 相對고 北方大陸에 連 部分은 河流及山脈을 因야 自然的 境界를 成니 卽, 支那와 鴨緣江 及 長白山（不咸山）脈을 因야 割界되얏스며 露領 烏蘇里와 豆滿江을 因야 劃界되얏니라.（未完）＜31＞

Korean text book of Sea of Japan around earｌy 20Century.

There are many evidences which Korea use Sea of Japan. Korea distorts the name of Sea of Japan is Colonial and expansionism name. but it is obvious that Korean claim is distorture. They did use Sea of Japan often, it is ofcourse it was before Korea be annexed in 1910.

The description of Chosun Jiji朝鮮地誌, edit and published by Education editor Bureau学部編纂局 on 1895.
Chosun is located on the eastern part of Asia , faced with Sea of Japan on the Southeast, west with Yellow sea, north with River Abnok and Duman鴨緑豆満.

Above those two famous Korean textbook also uses Sea of Japan. It is not only textbook which use Sea of Japan but also many variety of Great Korean Imperial’s official document and Newspaper in Korea. It is because Sea of Japan had already been defacto standard at that time so they use Sea of Japan in various documents: check here ( By Nidanosuke).

1902.中等万國地誌　（Middle school world geography)

Geography text called 中等万國地誌　（Middle school world geography)　describes "Sea of Japan"(日本海） in 1902.

But..there are another minor case Korea use another name as follows,

In 1907. Daehan-Shin-jiji大韓新地志, published by anti-Japanest 張志淵 he wrote Big Korean Sea大韓海,also
But, on the text part he wrote Japan sea 日本海　
Strait Korea -朝鮮海峡（Joseon(Korea)Strait)
Yellow Sea- 黄海（Yellow Sea)


on the other hand the attached map of Daehan-sin-jisi describes Daehanhe(Great Korean Sea:Left)

1908’s Great Korean Imperial Map （大韓帝国地図）wrote as weｌｌ　（Right side map)

1908.　Newest High DaehanJiji最新高等大韓地誌 describes Sea of Chosun(Korea)朝鮮海, which suggests today’s East Korean Gulf東朝鮮湾, that is to say, BroughtonBay which was commonly recognized in international society at that time. On the other hand, they use Sea of Japaan in the east of Korean penunsula which the sea off-shore area. https://search.i815.or.kr/ImageViewer/ImageViewer.jsp?tid=co&id=3-005112-000
