In France and in Germany, there is a map taken in 1210 which says Korean Sea and Tokdo.

Japan was discovered by the Portugese ceenturies after.

How could this happen unless the 1210 map was a lie?

As I’ve said before, just because all the paperwork’s in order doesn’t mean you’re not an imperialist aggressor.

There were a few other things going on in 1904-5 which have some bearing on matter….

In 1904, a resident of the Oki Islands, Yozaburo Nakai, requested the government to incorporate Takeshima as a territory and lease it out for the purpose of sea lion hunting. In response to this, the government officially named the islands Takeshima during a cabinet meeting on January 28th 1905, and designated them the property of the Oki Islands, Shimane Prefecture. Based on this, the Governor of Shimane Prefecture announced the details in the 40th Shimane Prefectural Report on February 22nd of the same year.

The islands were also entered in the State Land Register for Oki-no-kuni, District 4 in the same year. All requirements under international law, including the approval of sea lion hunting in accordance with fisheries supervision rules; the construction of a large temporary signpost for passing ships; inspection by the Governor; and site surveys by officials from Shimane Prefecture, Division 3, were carried out to full satisfaction.

In addition, the fishing dwellings and other buildings put up by Yozaburo Nakai and related parties were used throughout the years, and under effective Japanese control until the end of World War II.

Therefore Takeshima clearly belongs to JAPAN, NOT KOREA
