2008- July 14 - The New Guidelines for Teacher's Handbook

Japanese government decided to describe "Takeshima" in a teachers's handbook on the new curriculum guidelines for middles school social studies, finally !! Yesterday's article from Yomiuri Shimbun　cache

Teaching handbook set to mention Takeshima

The Yomiuri Shimbun

The government has begun discussions over how to refer to the disputed Takeshima islets in a handbook on the new curriculum guidelines for middle school social studies, but is expected to stop short of referring to them explicitly as part of "the nation's territory," The Yomiuri Shimbun learned Saturday.

Once a final decision over the description has been reached, the Education, Science and Technology Ministry plans to present the handbook to prefectural boards of education officials at a meeting to be held in Tokyo on Monday to explain the handbook.

The ministry initially planned to describe the islets as "inherent territory of Japan" in the new manual.

But after a strong response from South Korea, some within the government argued Japan should give greater consideration to maintaining good bilateral relations.

The government has been consulting with relevant departments over a plan to mention in the new teaching manual the islets as an example of the country's ongoing territorial disputes, which along with the four islands off eastern Hokkaido, known as the northern territories, are required to be studied.

On the northern territories, the ministry plans to say, "The Habomai islets and the Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu islands are the inherent territory of Japan and illegally occupied by Russia."

In the case of the Takeshima islets, known as Dokdo in South Korea, the ministry has discussed a proposal to mention in the manual that Seoul claims sovereignty over them.

New editions of handbooks on the curriculum guidelines are drawn up for each subject at primary, middle and high schools when the guidelines are revised, about every 10 years.

As the manuals give detailed explanations about the content of the guidelines, they are also used for publishers producing textbooks.

Currently, only four of the 14 publishers mention the Takeshima islets in their textbooks for social studies classes at middle school.

However, the introduction of the description about the islets in the new handbook is expected to prompt more publishers to mention them.
(Jul. 13, 2008)

The Takeshima part of new guidlines for teacher's handbook is as follows. I don't have much time to translate all of them. But the lines in red are Takeshima related part and translation is in orange. Honestly, it sounds very reasonable and nothing confrontational against Korea. I think there should be description about Korean illegal occupancy and it's logical breakdown, and Japanese government did backed a lot. But it is better than nothing. Especially, it is really good to hear PM Fukuda, who had been indecisive, did stand firm against Korean president. Korean should stay calm and need to understand this was just a due course which had already been decided two years ago. And they also need to understand Japan has its right to teach kids what they need to do just like Korean are doing. Read more from Choson Ilbo.

本年3月の中学校学習指導要領の改訂を受けた、２０１２年度から使用される中学校学習指導要領「解説」における竹島の取り扱いについて、内閣官房長官と文部科学大臣との間で論争になっていたことにつき、文部科学省は解説における記述について、本日午後、次の様に発表した。

○　中学校学習指導要領 社会［地理的分野］

「領域の特色と変化」については、北方領土が我が国の固有の領土であることなど、我が国の領域をめぐる問題にも着目させるようにすること。

（※ 平成１０年１２月告示の現行のままで変更なし）

○　解説

改訂版(Revised)

現行(Now in use)

（略）…。また、我が国は四面環海の国土であるため直接他国と陸地を接していないことに着目させ、国境がもつ意味について考えさせたり、我が国が正当に主張している立場に基づいて、当面する領土問題や経済水域の問題などに着目させたりすることも大切である。 　その際、「北方領土が我が国の固有の領土であることなど、我が国の領域をめぐる問題にも着目させるようにすること」（内容の取扱い）とあることから、北方領土（歯舞群島、色丹島、国後島、択捉島）については、その位置と範囲を確認させるとともに、北方領土は我が国の固有の領土であるが、現在ロシア連邦によって不法に占拠されているため、その返還を求めていることなどについて、的確に扱う必要がある。また、我が国と韓国の間に竹島をめぐって主張に相違があることなどにも触れ、北方領土と同様に我が国の領土・領域について理解を深めさせることも必要である。 (Northern territories (Etorofu island, Kunashiri island, Shikotan island and Habomai islands of Kuril Islands)“ are our inherent territory, they are illegally occupied by Russia.) It is necessary to deepen understanding about our country's territory in a way identical with the Northern territories by mentioning that there exist differing assertions between our country and Korea over Takeshima.

（略）…。なお、我が国は四面環海の国土であるため直接他国と陸地を接して いないことに着目させ、国境がもつ意味について考えさせたり、我が国が当面する領土問題や経済水域の問題などに着目させたりすることも大切である。　その 際、「北方領土が我が国の固有の領土であることなど、我が国の領域をめぐる問題にも着目させるようにすること」（内容の取扱い）とあることから、北方領土 （歯舞諸島、色丹島、国後島、択捉島）については、その位置と範囲を確認させるとともに、北方領土は我が国の固有の領土であるが、現在ロシア連邦によって占拠されているため、その返還を求めていることなどについて、我が国が正当に主張している立場に基づいて的確に扱う必要がある。

News Flash - PM Fukuda notified President Lee of describing Takeshima

PM Fukuda had already notified President Lee Japanese government decided to describe Takeshima in the manual for the teachers' guideline
Sankei(産経新聞) cache 2008.7.13 01:53

On 12th, it is revealed that Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo of Japan had already told the government's policy of describing Takeshima clearly in the guidebook for teachers's guide book for manual of new junior high school social studies as "Territory of Japan", to President Lee Myung-bak during the Japan-South Korea presidential talk held at the summit in the Hokkaido Toyako on the ninth. Political sources clarified it. A expression is considered to be still under moderation.

After the conference with Chief Cabinet Secretary Machimura Nobutaka yesterday, Tokai Kisaburo(渡海紀三朗文部科学相), minister of education, culture, sports, science and technology, told the press that it is still under the process of decision(調整中) wether describing it clearly or not .

Political sources emphasize the resolution for oppsing description, the South Korea Diet adopted, made Japanese government could not avoid describing it clearly (in order to claim sovereignty either).

1928 - The name of Kwannondo(観音島) came from the "Stone Buddhas (石仏)" on the island.

Mr. Sugino(杉野洋明), who found 1906's Korean news paper article, which omits Dokdo from Uldo County (皇城新聞 「鬱島郡의 配置顛末」) found new hint for the identity of 石島(Seokdo) in Imperial Edict No.41 in 1900 (大韓勅令第41号) .

According to the article he found this time, there were some Buddha shaped stones (石仏) on Kwannondo(観音島) , and it was started to be called the island as "観音島" later.

As you know, 観音（Kwannon）, or 観音菩薩(Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara) is one of the Bodhisattva(菩薩). Technically, Bodhisattva is different from Buddha(仏) itself, but it is sometimes used as one of Buddhas.

1894 Japanese map "日清韓三国地図"

This map, which was edited by Shimizu Jotaro (Kyoto), printed by Nakada Sadanori (Osaka) and published by Nakamura Yoshimatsu (Osaka), was put on sale in Japan by Shobido (鍾美堂) in August 1894, just after the beginning of Sino-Japanese War . The title of the map is "日清韓三国地図" which means "A map of three countries, Japan, Qing and Korea".

The map called "朝鮮輿地図" (Map of Chosun) was made by the same staff just one month before (July 1894). So there is no new information here - both of two islands, 竹島 (Takeshima) and 松島 (Matsushima), can be seen as same as in the "朝鮮輿地図".

Both of two islands seem to be not coloured, while Korea was painted in light green and Japan was painted in light pink. Some of the Japanese and Korean islands, such as Yakushima (Japan) and Geojedo (巨済島, Korea), were not coloured too. So uncoloured islands didn't always mean they didn't belong to Japan or Korea.

The good point of this map is that you can read the longitudinal lines in the map. The island labeled as 竹島 (Takeshima) lies at about 130 degree E which means that it is no other than Argonaut Island (129 degree 50' E). 松島 (Matsushima) is located at about 131 degree E, which is definitely Dagelet Island or Ulleungdo (130 degree 56' E). Unfortunately Liancourt Rocks were not drawn. However, the locations of these islands are quite similar to those in the western maps of the 19th century. That means "Taka I" or "Takeshima"in the western maps from the 19th century is the same as "竹島 (Takeshima)" in Japanese maps in the same era and that is Argonaut island (phantom island). Also it means "Matsu I" or "Matsushima" in the western maps is the same as "松島 (Matsushima)" in Japanese maps, and that is Dagelet Island (Ulleungdo).

Pro-Korean people used to insist that "Japan admitted that Liancourt Rocks belonged to Korea" showing the map called "新撰朝鮮国全図" (Newly Edited Whole Map of Chosun Country), which was made in the same year (1894). (Please look at the following article.)

http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2008/06/1899-american-map-of-japan-and-1894.html

They used to insist that Matsushima in the map is Liancourt Rocks but it's not true.

1817 Aaron Arrowsmith's map of Japan and Von Siebold

Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823) was an English geographer (mapmaker) and member of the Arrowsmith family of geographers. His maps were very numerous, and the neatness and finished style gained a very extensive reputation, but his maps contain many great and important errors.
Here is his map of Japan which was published in 1817. The credit at the bottom of the map reads "Drawn by A. Arrowsmith.", "Published., 1817, by A. Constable & Co. Edinburgh." and "Engraved by Sid.y.Hall."

There are two islands in the Sea of Japan; "Argonaut I." and "I. Dagelet", both of which were discovered in 1789 and 1787 respectively. Liancourt Rocks were not drawn, as the rocks were yet to be discovered until 32 years later.

Although this map is not related with Liancourt Rocks, it has an important meaning.

The year 1817 was the 14th year of Bunka in Japan, literally Edo period and six years after, in 1823, Philpp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866) arrived in Nagasaki, Japan. Von Siebold focused on study of Japanese fauna and flora while he gave lectures on Japanese young scientists and medical students during his stay. In 1828 he went to Edo (today's Tokyo) collecting many plants and animals and during the journey he got some detailed maps of Japan drawn by Inoh Tadataka but posession of such maps were strictly forbidden. He was accused of posessing them and expelled from Japan in 1829. Most importantly, he may have had a chance to see the 1817 map by Arrowsmith during his stay in Nagasaki (1823-1829), where foreigners from UK, Holland etc were permitted to stay in a limited area.

After he came back to Europe, he published many books on Japan including books on botanical species in Japan. He finally published the precise atlas of Japan "Atlas von Land- und Seekarten vom Japanischen Reiche Dai-Nippon" in 1851. It has been said that he didn't publish it for many years to protect the Japanese people who gave him the maps. In the map of Japan by von Siebold, Argonaut island was labeled as "Takasima (I. Argonaute)" and Dagelet island was labeled as "Matsusima (I. Dagelet)", which was the beginning of the name confusion of later years. (Liancourt Rocks were not drawn in the map, as the rocks had just been discovered 2 years before by France and UK had not discovered Hornet Rocks yet in 1851.)

Details of the maps can be seen at the Sophia University's homepage here: http://libknwlg.lib.sophia.ac.jp/mcenter/special/jpnplateind.html

Or visit here and click the fifth book:

http://libknwlg.lib.sophia.ac.jp/mcenter/special/kityo_si-kore.html

But when I saw the 1817 map by Arrowsmith, I thought it was natural for him to give names Takeshima to Argonaut island and Matsushima to Dagelet island because von Siebold may have heard from Japanese people around him (possibly his Japanese wife Taki or Otakisan) about Japanese two islands called Takeshima and Matsushima (or he may have seen some traditional maps with the two islands) and there was this famous map showing two islands, Argonaut and Dagelet islands, in the Sea of Japan.

BTW, von Siebold also included a map of Korea in the atlas. (Please see the details at the homepage above) There is a writing at Ulleungdo "UrIjong to v.v Tsjor sankuk" (Ulleungdo and Usanguk?) in his map of Korea. It is obvious that he believed that Ulleungdo belonged to Korea while Takeshima (Takasima) and Matsushima (Matsusima) belonged to Japan.

Ulleungdo and Usan were visible from Korean peninsula

To follow is from 高麗史 (Vol.58, 地理 geography 3; 1451)

一云　干山武陵　本二島　相距不遠　風日清明則可望見

According to one theory, these two islands Usan and Mulleung (武陵) are not so distant and they are easily visible on fine days.

Korean government and pro-Korean scholars keep insisting that Usan in the sentence is Liancourt Rocks, and the text means Liancourt Rocks could be seen from Mulleung (Ulleungdo) on fine days. They interpreted it like this in order to impress that Korea knew Liancourt Rocks from the ancient times.

On the other hand, Japanese scholars have an opinion that it meant these two islands could be seen from Korean peninsula on fine days. They think that Usan in the text is not Liancourt Rocks.

Please look at the following map, introduced by a reader of this forum who has an ID of opp.

It was called as " 江原道古地図(Kanwondo old map)" which was probably made in the end of Yi dynasty. There is a writing at the east of Korean peninsula, "鬱陵于山両島　天気清明蔚三両地登高皆見". This can be translated as follows:

Both of Ulleung and Usan islands are all visible from the highlands of 蔚珍・三陟 on fine days.

Of course, Liancourt Rocks can't be seen from Korean peninsula. So this may show that odds are in Japanese scholars' favour. Usan in the text was not Liancourt Rocks.

1894 British map of Japan

This map was published by Edward Stanford, Charing Cross, London, in 1894. Edward Stanford was the founder of Stanford's Ltd, now a duo of maps and book stores based in London and Bristol. With British colonial expansion pushing the demand for maps worldwide, and being the sole specialist of maps in London, the name of Stanford became prominent. His most accurate map of London in 1862, The Library Map of London, is still on sale today.

Now look at the islands in the Sea of Japan. There are three islands labeled as "Taka Shima", "Matsu Shima" and "Liancourt Rks.". "Taka Shima" is coloured in light brown which is the same colour as Korean peninsula, while "Matsu Shima" is in light purple which is the same as Oki islands, counties of Iwami, Idzumo and Hoki. Also please note a line drawn in red dots around "Matsu Shima". This line is the national border. UK in 1894 believed that "Taka Shima", obviously a phantom island called Argonaut island, was Korean territory while they believed "Matsu Shima" (Dagelet island) and "Liancourt Rks." were Japanese territory. This is another evidence that the world didn't think Liancourt Rocks to be Korean territory in the 1890's, just a while before the #41 Korean Edict which mentioned Seokdo was issued in 1900.

c1865 French map of Korea (Coree)

This is a map made by French missions to Korea, whcih was published in Paris in circa 1865. (Coree, par les Missionnaires de Coree de la Societe des Missions Etrangeres.)

There is a name of R.Hausermann, an engraver, at the left bottom of the map.

[This map is from the Osaka University Library.]

Please compare with the 1855 map, which depicted Ulleungdo (Oulangto) and Usan (Oosan) in traditional Korean way.

http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2008/07/1855-french-map-of-korea-coree.html

This map may be the basis of the 1880 map as the shape of the peninsula and islands are similar.

1944 - 1984 National Geographic Maps

To follow are the maps from the "National Geographic" homepage. Click the button to zoom, then click the area of the map you want to see and you will be able to see the details of the maps.
Ulleungdo was titled in Japanese pronunciation as "Utsuryo To" in 1944, and then changed to Korean name "Ullung Do [Dagelet]" in the 1952 and 1953 maps. In the map of 1960, there was the name of "Korea" in red beside the island.
On the other hand, Liancourt Rocks were kept labeled as "Take Shima [Liancourt Rcoks]" from the 1944 map until 1960 map. In the 1984 map of Japan, it was included in the map although the name was changed to "Tok Do (Liancourt Rocks)".
It seems that American people used to recognise Ulleungdo as Korean territory and Liancourt Rocks as Japanese territory even after the Peace Treaty.

1855 French map of Korea (Coree)

This map was published in 1855 in Paris. This may have been made on the basis of information in 1846 as the credit says "d'Apres l'Original dressee par Andre Kim en 1846 et apportee" but anyway, it was made in the mid-19th century. There are two islands off Samtsek which were labeled as "Oulangto" (Ulleungdo) and "Ousan" (Usan). Although it didn't show longitudinal lines, the location of Oulangto (Ulleungdo) seems to be almost the same as the eastern edge of "Taimato" (Tsushima) which is located at 129 degree E - more western than true Ulleungdo is located.

By the way, Dagelet island (Ulleungdo) had been already discovered when this map was made - it was discovered by a French ship in 1787. Liancourt Rocks was yet to be discovered (if the information was given in 1846 - three years earlier than 1849 when Liancourt Rocks were discovered), but the rocks were discovered 6 years earlier than the publicartion year . So if the French mapmaker knew that "Oulangto" was Dagelet island, they should have written as "Oulangto (Dagelet Isl)" but they didn't. It seems that they thought these two islands off Korean east coast were different from Dagelet island. If these two islands were believed to be closer to Korean peninsula than Dagelet island, "Ousan" was not Liancourt Rocks as the latter were located at more eastern position than Dagelet island. And the shape of the island is different from Liancourt Rocks. This may have been another evidence to prove that Usan (Ousan) was not Liancourt Rocks.

Addendum: Please see also the map (1880) Gerry introduced here:

http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2008/05/1880-r-hausermanns-map-of-korea.html

It says that the map in the 1880 was based on Father Kim Degeon's Carte de la Corée of 1846. (Is this 金大建's 朝鮮全圖, 1846?) I haven't a slightest idea if Father Kim Degeon and Andre Kim was the same person or not. The map in 1880 looks more accurate - it depicted Ulleungdo as "Oul-neung-to (Is. Dagelet)" and the shape of "Ou-san" looks like today's Jukdo. It seems to me that mapmakers noticed that Ulleungdo was Dagelet island in the period between 1855 and 1880.

Additional post:

I found the Carta de la Coree (1846) here - it looks almost the same as the 1855 map (above).

Carta de la Coree (1846):

And in 1865, the map was much improved. It looks more accurate than the 1855 map. Note that they labeled as "I. Dagelet" which is inclusive of both Ulleungdo and Usan (Ousan).

1877 Jpn Map of Ulleungdo

Below is a cutout of an 1877 Japanese map of Ulleungdo that shows Ulleungdo with two neighboring islands. The one island off the east shore is obviously present-day Jukdo (竹島), but the other island off the southern tip of Ulleungdo is unnamed. Is there a translation somewhere of the placenames and distances shown on this map? I would especially like to know what is written at the southern tip of Ulleungdo.

I think it is interesting that this map showed the islet off the southern tip of Ulleungdo as a neighboring islet rather than Gwaneumdo (觀音島) or any of the northern rocks. Western maps also seemed to emphasize the islet off Ulleungdo's southern-most tip, which was labeled as "Seal Point" on Western maps. Maybe this islet was more significant than people today realize? I wonder if it is still there, or has it been incorporated into some kind of breakwater? Someday I would like to get to Ulleungdo and check out this area of the island.

The cutout came from THIS MAP, which, itself, is a cutout.

1891 American map of Japan

This colour map of Japan was included in a cyclopedia set called "International Cyclopaedia" published in 1891. It was engraved and printed by the Matthews-Northrup Works of Buffalo, NY. Railroads are shown and there is an inset map of the Kurile islands.

Please take a look at the Sea of Japan - there are "TAKA SHIMA", "MATSU SHIMA" and "LIANCOURT RKS". Although "Taka Shima" and "Liancourt Rocks" look uncoloured, "Matsu Shima" (Ulleungdo) looks green, the same colour as Oki islands and Hoki county. (Korea is coloured in pink.)

So this maybe another evidence to show that USA recognised Matsu-Shima (Ulleungdo) to be Japanese territory which means they didn't think that Liancourt Rocks, which are located 92 km east of Ulleungdo, belonged to Korea at all in the 1890's.

1919 National Geographic Map of Korea

Below is a map of Korea from a July 1919 National Geographic article. The map shows Ulleungdo labeled as "Matsu Shima." Though the article, itself, has nothing to do with Liancourt Rocks, it is still well worth reading. Read the whole article in PDF form HERE. You will not regret it.
