Takeshima (Liancourt R.) and Utsuryō Tō (Island) (Ulleungdo) (also called Matsushima at that time)
*Liancourt Rocks: "Lyanko Islands"
"Lyanko Islands" was the Japanese colloquial term for Takeshima derived from "Liancourt Islands," the Western name given to Takeshima. Due to charting errors by European explores, Utsuryo Island was also called "Matsushima," and the present Takeshima was called the "Lyanko Islands."
