***The
sea between Japan and Korea, whose name, either the 'Sea of Korea,'
'East Sea,' or the 'Sea of Japan,' is here identified in favor of Korea
(Mer de Coree). Historically, Korea has used the term 'East Sea' since
59 B.C., and many books published before the Japanese annexed Korea make
references to the 'East Sea' or 'Sea of Korea.' Over time, neighboring
and western countries have identified Korea's East Sea using various
different terms. The St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences referred to the
East Sea as 'Koreiskoe Mope' or 'Sea of Korea' in their 1745 map of
Asia. Other seventeenth and 18th century Russian maps alternate between
'Sea of Korea' and 'Eastern Ocean.' The 18th century Russian and French
explorers Adam Johan von Krusenstern and La Perouse called it the 'Sea
of Japan,' a term that became popular worldwide. Nonetheless, the last
official map published by the Russians name the East Sea the 'Sea of
Korea.' The name is currently still a matter of historical and political
dispute between the countries. 8th C.

printing/writing that it as a “Japan Sea”, and so far, its disputes are
still going on between
