SDHF Newsletter No.41: It is a sheer lie that “East Sea” predates the birth of Christ

May 7, 2012

Korean government has been conducting an international campaign to introduce
the appellation“East Sea” as an alternative to the “Sea of Japan” even claiming
that “East Sea” predates the birth of Christ. However, this is a sheer lie. It is
true that 東海 or “Donhae” or “East Sea” appears as a description in the “History
Book of Three Kingdoms” in 37 B.C. But you can easily understand that“East Sea”
in this context refers to “Bohai” or the sea on the west side of the Korea Peninsula
-“East Sea” means the sea to the “east side of China”.

Prof. Shimojo introduces abundant historical records in his paper, which cpmletely
refutes the Korean government’s assertion of legitimacy of the naming of “East Sea”
over the current “Sea of Japan”.

He also reveals that the Korean government’s assertion of the “East Sea”
appellation closely relates to its territorial claim over “Takeshima” or “Dokdo”.
On the “Takeshima” issue, we have preveously presented overwhelming evidence that
current Korean occupation of the island is a complete violation of international law.

Please have a look at Prof. Shimoyo’s paper “Why not silence the Republic of
Korea in dealing with the naming issue of the Sea of Japan?” linked below.
