This book was written to
confirm Korea’s territorial right over Dokdo.
Dokdo is clearly
Korean land that rightfully belongs to the Korean people historically and by
international law. However, the government and scholars of Japan claim the
island as Japanese territory. The Japanese government has attempted to make
Dokdo a subject of “legal dispute,” mounting a proposal to take the matter to
the International Court of Justice. This book was written in this context to
confirm Korea’s territorial right over Dokdo.
The book comprises
seven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces Dokdo’s history, geography, and ecosystem.
Chapter 2 surveys Korea’s official records of Dokdo, from the History of the
Three Kingdoms (K. Samguk sagi) and Memorabilia of the Three
Kingdoms (K. Samguk yusa) to the Annals of King Seongjong (K.
Seongjong sillok), to uncover perceptions of Dokdo found therein.
Chapter 3 examines An Yong-bok’s confrontation with Japan as recorded in the Annals
of King Sukjong (K. Sukjong sillok), explaining how Dokdo was
already perceived as Korean territory at the time.
Chapter 4 investigates the Meiji government records that acknowledged Korea’s
territorial right over Dokdo and Ulleungdo. Chapter 5 retraces the Joseon
government’s incorporation of Dokdo into Ulleung-gun County, which was followed
by the Japanese government’s illegal incorporation of the island in Shimane
Prefecture. Chapter 6 sheds light on the restoration of Dokdo to Korea
following Japan’s defeat in WWII. Chapter 7 analyzes how, upon regaining its
sovereignty, Japan has attempted to make Dokdo a subject of “legal dispute.”
