Korea insists on calling the Sea of Japan the "East Sea," but that name is unjustified
for three reasons:

1) In March 2004, the United Nations Secretariat confirmed its policy that "Sea of
Japan" is the standard geographical term and
as such is to be used in official documents of the United Nations;

2) "East Sea" already refers to the East China Sea in China, and to the South China
Sea in Vietnam. So the Korean usage causes confusion;

3) according to the investigation of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 82% of
old maps say "Sea of Japan," 7% of the old maps say "Sea of Korea,"
and only one map says "East Sea."

*Old maps: 1285 European world maps which were published of the 19th century.
