| Content | In Section 2 of the "Introduction to the Dokdo Issue," it states that incorporation of Takeshima (Dokdo) into Shimane Prefecture in 1905 was an invasion by Japan, and that Japan considered Dokdo as a territory of Korea even while Korea was under Japanese rule, taking as an example, in "5. Dokdo under the Rule of the Empire of Japan and Documents proving Korea's Territorial Rights," a paragraph from "Ryotei to Hiyou-gaisan (Itinerary and Cost Estimation)" (by the Japan Tourist-Bureau), reading "the eastern end of Korea is Ulleungdo, '竹島(Takeshima in Japanese)' of North Gyeongsang Province at 37° 31' 5'' N, 130° 56' 3'' E." However, based on these longitude and the latitude measurements, '竹島' in this description actually indicates Jukdo, the island located northeast of Ulleungdo (37° 31' 44'' N, 130° 56' 17'' E), thus this reference/example in the book is incorrect. |
