Tsushima (Daemado) Island Dispute • ------------------------------------------------- • A small minority of Koreans claim this island as belonging to Korea, although the South Korean government does not make this claim. Called Tsushima in Japanese and Daemado in Korean, this island was recorded on the Chinese history book as a territory of Japan from ancient times. This island, as Tsushima Province, has been ruled by Japanese governments since the Nara period. According to Homer Hulbert, this island was a dependent of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. However, according to the Korean history book Samguk Sagi written in 1145, Tsushima is ruled by the Japanese from CE 400. • In 1948, the South Korean government formally demanded that the island be ceded to South Korea based on historical claims. However, the claim was rejected by SCAP in 1949. On July 19, 1951, the South Korean government agreed that the earlier demand for Tsushima had been dropped by the Korean government with regards to the Japanese peace treaty negotiations. • In 2010, a group of 37 members of the South Korean congress formed a forum to study Korea's territorial claims to Tsushima and make outreach efforts to the public. They said that Tsushima was a part of Korean history and that the people on the island are closely related to Koreans. Yasunari Takarabe, incumbent Mayor of Tsushima rejects the Korean territorial claim: Tsushima has always been Japan. I want them to retract their wrong historical perception. It was mentioned in the Gishiwajinden as part of Wa (Japan). It has never been and cannot be a South Korean territory. • Sanguozhi, the official historical records of the Three Kingdoms period of China (220–280 A.D.) written in the third century, recorded that the island was an ancient country of Wa (Japan). • When the ancient law system Ritsuryō of Japan was established (somewhere between 645 and 701 A.D.), Tsushima Province formally became a province of Japan. Since then, Tsushima Province has been a part of Japan, except for the temporary occupation by Mongol Empire in the Mongol invasions of Japan (1274 and 1281). • The island was described by Hayashi Shihei in Sangoku Tsūran Zusetsu, which was published in 1785. It was identified as part of Japan. • Japanese mythology states that Tsushima was one of the eight original islands created by the Shinto deities Izanagi and Izanami. Archeological evidence suggests that Tsushima was already inhabited by settlers from the Japanese archipelago and Korean Peninsula from the Jōmon period to the Kofun period. The Sanguo Zhi, a Chinese historical text, describes a country called Duihai guo with a population of more than one thousand households, which is commonly identified with Tsushima. It was one of the about 30 that composed the Yamataikoku union countries.These families exerted control over Iki Island, and established trading links with Yayoi Japan. Since Tsushima had almost no land to cultivate, islanders earned their living by fishing and trading. • Beginning in the early 6th century, Tsushima was a province of Japan, known as Tsushima Province. • For more information on this topic, you can visit: • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsushima... • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%E2... • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Cei... • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsushima... • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AT... • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Ce...
