1853 - 萬国地球全図、大日本輿地図略　東都　鈴亭谷義蔵版 - 嘉永6年

Can someone tell me what is written under the small island next to Takeshima (竹島 - Ulleungdo) on this 1853 map?

I think it says that

"カウライノ
チヲミルニ
百リヨアリ"

(From here) to view Koryo, it is about 100 ris and so.

Thank you, Kaneganese.

Is it possible that チヲミルニ could have been 千ヲミルニ?

Also, it seems strange that it would say that Koryo was about 100 ri away, which would be too far. I wonder if the mapmaker could have been confusing the distance with the area (四方 or 地方) of Ulleungdo, which Koreans regularly gave as 100 ri?

"チ" means land in Japanese. "千" doesn't make sence in this case, I believe. I think it says that From here(Ulleungdo), we can see the land of Koryo(Joseon) at the distance of 100 ris and so. Maybe, 100 ris is not real distance, but simply the way of saying "far".

＜In English＞

Thak you for you informations.
(Sorry, I’m not good at in English.)

"カウライノ
チヲミルニ
百リヨアリ"

"Kaurai no
Chi wo miru ni
Hyaku Ri yo ari "

Kaurai = カウライ(in ”KATAKANA Character” of Japanese) = 高麗(Chinese Character) = Koryo = Joseon
No = ノ = of
Chi = チ(K.) = 地(C.) = Land
Wo = ヲ = (with objective word)
Miru = ミル(K.) = 見る(J.) = (to) see
Ni = ニ = when,while,
Hyaku = 百 = hundred
Ri = リ(K.) = 里(C.) = [in this case] km.
Yo = ヨ(K.) = 余(C.) = over
Ari = アリ(K.) = 在り(J.) = (there) be

里:the scale; like “m” or “km”.
(According to the Country or Era. There have been different meanings.)
In Japan, sometimes “1km”, the other case “4km”.
In Korea, almost all the case, it means “0.4km”.

MEANS:
カウライノ/ チヲ/ミルニ
(From Here,) Seeing the Land of Koryo
百リ/ヨ/アリ
there are over 100km (in distance).

Japanese Ancesters had customs in naming the Islands and Rocks.
When they saw the Islands or Rocks, that had never been known it’s name before, or that have had no fixed name, they often named it " Take-Shima (竹島, 竹嶋) " or " Matsu-Shima （松島, 松嶋）".
Like " Jhon " and " Mary " (?).
So, there are many " Take-Shima " and " Matsu-Shima " in Japan.

" Take-Shima " :
Japanese Character " 竹 (Take) " = Bamboo. In case of naming Islands or Rocks in the sea, it means " with Bamboo Trees" or “ Two ‘ケ' ". ( In Japanese Character, "ケ" x ２ = "竹" ). When there were Two main Islands or Rocks , we have often named it " Take-Shima " or "Me-oto-Jima( means a husband and his woman islands) ".
" Shima " = Island

" Matsu-Shima "
Japanese Character "松 (Matsu) " = Pine Tree. In case of naming Islands or Rocks in the sea, it means " with Pine Tree ", " little ", " pretty ", " beautiful ".

"Ulleungdo" and "Jukdo (old times, some times " Usando ") ", have been no fixed name for a long terms.
So, both Japanese and Koreans, had been calling them in no fixed name.
And so, there are some other names to call "Ulleungdo" and "Jukdo (old times "Usando") ".

" Ulleungdo " has Bamboo trees, so it have also called " Take-Shima ".
At the same time " Jukdo (old times "Usando") " was called " Matsu-Shima ", because it’s smaller than " Ulleungdo ".

When the name of "Ulleungdo" and "Jukdo (old times "Usando") " have fixed in Korea, Japanese came to call "Matsu-shima" ( the name including the meaning of "little islands ") to " Liancourt-Rocks" .

Before that, Japanese had called it "Lian-ko-tou" or "Yan-ko- tou " (Both of them means "Two Islands"). It is said that it’s from Chinese "2个(liang-ge) ", means " “TWO ".

Old Japanese Fishermen or governments have naming these Islands like these.

100km以上在ります（(距離が).

日本人の御先祖様方は、島や岩に名付ける時の慣習が在りました。

彼等が島や岩礁を見た時、それが未だ名前を知らない物だったり、或は、固定した名が無かったりした場合、彼等はしばしばそれを「竹島・竹嶋」「松島・松嶋」と名付けました。
「ジョン」と「メアリー」の様なものです。
なので、日本には「竹島」と「松島」がいっぱい在ります。

『竹島』：
日本語文字『竹（Take）』＝竹の事。　海の島や諸島を名付ける場合、「竹が在る」「ケが2つ」（日本語文字の「ケ」×２＝「竹」）の意味で名付けられました。　２つの主要な島が在る場合、それらをしばしば「竹島」「夫婦島（夫とその妻の島）」と名付けました。
「島」 = Island

『松島』
日本語文字『松 (Matsu)』 =松の木。　海の島や諸島を名付ける場合、それは「松が在る」、「小さい」「可愛い」「美しい」という意味で名付けられました。

「鬱陵島」と「竹嶼（古くは、時々「于山島」とも呼ばれた）」は、長い期間、固定した名前が在りませんでした。
そこで、日本も朝鮮もずっと、固定した名前で呼んでいませんでした。
それなので、「鬱陵島」と「竹嶼（昔の「于山島」）」は、他にも幾つかの名が在ります。

「鬱陵島」には竹が生えて居て、それで「竹島」とも呼ばれていた事も在ります。
と同時に、「竹嶼（古くは「于山島））」は、「松島」と、「鬱陵島」よりも小さい所から呼ばれました。

「鬱陵島」と「竹嶼（古くは于山島）」の名前が朝鮮で確定すると、日本では「リャンコール島」を「松島」と呼ぶ様になりました。（その名は、「小さな島」と言う意味を含みます。）

それ以前は、日本はその島を「リャンコ島」「ヤンコ島」と呼んでいました。（どちらも、「2つの島」と言う意味）
それは、中華語の「２个(liang-ge)」（2つ）に由来するとも言われます。

昔の日本の漁師や政府は、これらのように、これらの諸島を命名しました。

NE Shore of Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도)

This satellite photo shows Ulleungdo's neighboring islands of Gwaneumdo (觀音島) and Jukdo (竹島) off Ulleungdo's east shore. Gwaneumdo is only about 100 meters offshore and looks more like a cape than an island. Jukdo is about 2 km offshore. The old Korean name for Jukdo was "Usando" (于山島), as many of Korea's old maps show. Koreans claim that Usando was Korea's old name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), but they have no documents or maps to prove it. Also, Liancourt Rocks is about ninety-two kilometers southeast of Ulleungdo and are essentially two islands, but all of Korea's old maps show it as one island just off shore of Ulleungdo.

"Cheonggudo" (靑邱圖) Atlas (1860 - 1872)

This Korean map of Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) showed it with a small island off its eastern shore labeled as "Usan" (于山). Hash marks at the bottom of the map showed that Usan was less than 4 km off Ulleungdo's east shore. That would mean that it would be Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo, which is about 2.2 km off Ulleungdo's east shore. Koreans claim that Usando was the old name for Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks), but Dokdo is 92 km southeast of Ulleungdo and is essentially two islands, not one. The map is stored in the National Library of Korea.

"Cheonggudo" (靑邱圖) Atlas (1834)

This Korean map of Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) showed Usan (于山 - 우산) as a neighboring island just off Ulleungdo's east shore. The hash marks at the bottom of the map showed the island to be about 4 km offshore. Usando was the old Korean name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo, which is about 2.2 km of Ulleungdo's east shore. Koreans claim that Usando was the old Korean name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), which is 92 km southeast of Ulleungdo, but this map and many others prove that claim false. The map is stored in Seoul National University's Kyujanggak Center for Korean Studies.

"Dong Yeodo" (東輿圖) Atlas (1795 - 1800)

This map showed Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) with a neighboring island labeled as "Usan" (于山 - 우산). Usando (于山島) was the old Korean name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is about 2.2 km off Ulleungdo's east shore. Koreans claim that Usando was the old name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), which is 92 km southeast of Ulleungdo, but this map and many others prove that claim wrong. The map is stored in Japan's "University of Tsukuba Library" (筑波大学附属図書館).

"Joseon-do" (朝鮮圖) - 1800 - 1822

This map of Ullelungdo (鬱陵島) is from the Korean atlas "Joseon-do" (朝鮮圖), which is believed to have been made sometime between 1800 and 1822. Ulleungdo is shown with a neighboring island labeled as Usan (于山). Koreans claim that Usando (于山島) was the old Korean name for Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks), but this map and many others show that it was Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島), which is Ulleungdo's largest neighboring island and only two kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. The map is stored in the Osaka Nakanoshima Library (中之島圖書館).

"Gwandong Bangyeo" (關東方輿) - late 1800s?)

This map of Ulleungdo comes from an atlas entitled "Gwandong Bangyeo" (關東方輿), which was probably made in the late 1800s since the map is very similarly to another map of Ulleungdo that was made between 1884 and 1894. The mapmaker used gridlines to help show relative size and distance. The map shows Ulleungdo with a small island off its east shore labeled as "Usan" (于山), which was the old Korean name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도). Jukdo is Ulleungdo's largest neighoring island and is about two kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. Koreans claim that Usando was the old Korean name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), but they have no maps or documents to prove it. The map is stored in the Korean National Library.

"Joseon Jido" (朝鮮地圖) Atlas (1750 - 1768)

This Korean map of Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) showed "Usan" (于山 - 우산) as a neighboring island. The grid lines on the map helped show the small island's relative distance from Ulleungdo. Usando (于山島 - 우산도) was the old Korean name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is about 2.2 km off Ulleungdo's east shore. Korean's claim that Usando was the old name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), but this map and many others prove that claim false.

Inspector's Map of Ulleungdo (1711)

The map is an inspector's map that showed Ulleungdo with an island off its east shore labeled as "the so-called Usando" (所謂于山島). The small island was also labeled as having "fields of haejang bamboo" (海長竹田). Koreans claim that Usando was Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks), but this map shows that it could not have been Dokdo since Dokdo is just rocks without the soil to grow haejang bamboo. Also, Usando was shown as a neighboring island of Ulleungdo, but Dokdo is 92 km southeast of Ulleungdo. Stored in Seoul Nat'l University's Kyujanggak Institute of Korean Studies.

"Haejwa Jeondo" (海左全圖) - mid 1800s

This old Korean map showed Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) with a small neighboring island just off its east shore labeled as "Usan" (于山 - 우산). Koreans claim that Usando (于山島 - 우산도) was the old name for Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks), but this map is evidence against the Korean claim. Liancourt Rocks is essentially two islands 92 kilometers southeast of Ulleungdo, but the Usan on this map is just off Ulleungdo's east shore and is only one island. In fact, Usando was the old name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is only two kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore.

Carte de la Coree (1846)

This map was made iin 1846 by Kim Dae-geon (金大建), who was Korea's first Catholic priest. He made this map for the benefit of the French priest he works with. He was killed by the Joseon government the same year this map was made. The map shows Ulleungdo labeled in French as "Oulangto" and its neighboring island of Usando labeled as "Ousan." Koreans claim that Usando (于山島 - 우산도) was the old name for Dokdo (Liancourt Rock), but this map shows Usando as one island just of the east shore of Ulleungdo. That tells us that Usando was almost certainly Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is only 2 kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. Also, this island could not have been Liancourt Rocks since Liancourt Rocks is essentially two islands not one. The original of this map is stored in the National Library of France.

Joseon Jeondo (朝鮮全圖) from the "Gakdo Jido" (各道地圖) Atlas (latter 18th c.)

This old Korean map showed an island labeled as "Usando" (于山島 - 우산도) just off the east shore of Ulleundo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도). Koreans claim that Usando was the old name for Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks), but this map is more evidence against that claim. Liancourt Rocks is essentially two islands ninety-two kilometers southeast of Ulleungdo, but this map shows Usando as one island just off Ulleungdo's east shore. Usando was, in fact, the old name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is about two kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. This map is stored in Korea's Yeongnam University Museum.

"Joseon Jido" (朝鮮地圖) Atlas (1898)

"Donggyeong San Cheon - Paldo Jido (東京山川八道地圖) Atlas (date unknown)

"Jeongukdo" (全國圖) from the "Dongguk Daecheondo" (東國大全圖) - 1740

This old Korean map shows Ulleungdo (鬱陵島 - 울릉도) with a small neighboring island just off its east shore labeled as "Usando" (于山島 - 우산도). Koreans claim that Usando was the old name for Dokdo, but this map is evidence against that claim. Liancourt Rocks is essentially two islands ninety-two kilometers southeast of Ulleungdo, but the Usando on this map is one island just off the east shore of Ulleungdo. Usando was, in fact, the old name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), which is about two kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. This map is stored in the Korean National Museum.
