| Content | Copy of a complete map of Chōsen (Joseon) drawn during the Kingdom of Chōsen (Joseon era). Formerly owned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. Colored copy drawn with a brush. Marked with place names and roads in Chōsen (Joseon). Uzan Island (Usando) is located at the west side of Uldo (Utsuryo Island (Ulleungdo)).(From its geographical location, it is clear that Uzan Island (Usando) is not the present-day Takeshima). This contradicts the South Korean claim that Usando is Takeshima. |
