Sea of Japan is not the true name
The correct name of Sea of Japan is East Sea. This seas mostly belong to Korea, the island Dokdou around East Sea most people think it belongs to Japan. Yet Korean lived there before Japaense there, so whose sea is that.

sensation de déjà-vu
wikipedia entry regarding the east sea @sanghyun1990, I see people with immense national pride. Not that this is bad, but it usually leads to a little bit of over-reaction in discussions. This topic is worth a discussion, but I think it will end in a blame game. Anyway, I'ld say east sea is the best possible name for it, so no east asian's nation pride might be piqued. edit: too slow with the wikipedia entry

This seems to be making an issue where none exists... It seems to me what you really want to discuss is the status of a certain group of islands.

I'm trying hard not to laugh when I actually see people taking this very seriously. I take the same position as hooliganj on this topic. It's a body of water, it just happens to be there, what difference does it make whether it's named one thing or another?
Indian Ocean. Dispute and discuss that as well, since it's the same premise. |

This again, eh? All of the world's occupation and territory has been claimed by some form of imperialism. If you're so bent on names that represent imperialistism, then lets stop using names for countries and cities too! Lets just number territory by it's longitude and lattitude possition! Korea is now called 37N 126E.
Would that make you hippies happy? Or is it not about the name? Is it just your latent hatred of Japan? The world doesn't give a shit what that sea is called. We aren't going to bust down your doors for calling it something else than we say. But you should expect we bust down our own doors to call it something else than you say. |

Okay, but, seriously, it doesn't matter who the ocean belongs to in the long run. People will call it by different names, so what if many recognize it by 'Sea of Japan', if you want to call it East Sea why don't you? Does it matter? |
