I don't think it should be changed just because Korea wants it to be changed, they need some evidence to make the entire world change their maps, so I'm glad to see someone making noise about the issue beyond the traditional Korean net-terrorists.

Much more logical than "East Sea", which is on my west coast at the moment.... If you want to know more than you ever wanted to know about the Japan Sea debacle (barely a debate) then see the series of posts over at www.occidentalism.org by Gerry Bevers, a teacher at a Korean university who got fired for writing stuff about Takeshima that his Korean employees did not like. He has a lot of stuff of SOJ as well. Perfectly legitimate way. Much more logical than “East Sea”, which is on my west coast at the moment….

If the Japanese islands weren't there (to 'enlcose' the sea) what would the East Sea be then? Nothing, other than the Pacific Ocean. ...or is that a too simplistic way of deciding the name? A small question for those anti-”Sea of Japan”…

Nothing, other than the Pacific Ocean.

…or is that a too simplistic way of deciding the name?
