dokdo

An actual billboard located in Koreatown in Dallas, Texas, which even has a Korean Restaurant named Dokdo Island.

I think the South Koreans have good reason to complain and after all "and that Korea has failed to present clear proof of its effective control of the islets." Clear Proof to whom?..whose the Umpire?..who rules on these things? or is that possession is 9/10's of the Law

Dunkin Donuts is giving away "Dokdo belongs to Korea" T-shirts from August 8th through August 15th, which is Korean Independence Day. I wonder what Dunkin Donuts has planned for their Japan outlets...??

And the painted ponies go up and down. . .

Koreans may be the masters of unorthodox protest.

At the prayer corner of Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Korean visitors are leaving prayers declaring Takeshima/Dokdo to be Korean land.

A collection of photos that show Korean demonstrators butchering the national bird of Japan outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul.

Koreans will not be seeing any Japanese condoms as they slip into the tube each morning now that Seoul Metro has decided to pull prophylactic posters for Okamoto condoms from its subway carriages.

The ads had phrases such as “No. 1 in Japan.” The subway operator removed all the ads saying they may be against “public sentiment" following the dispute between the countries over Takeshima/Dokdo.

South Korea is in an uproar again about Takeshima/Dokdo, with Seoul announcing that they were recalling their Japanese envoy. Trouble started when a manual for Japanese junior high school geography teachers urged the same consideration of the Liancourt rocks (known as Takeshima to the Japanese, and Dokdo to Koreans) as of the northern Kuril islands, which themselves are the subject of an unresolved territorial dispute with Russia. The problem is that later in the manual, it is explicitly stated that “the Northern Territories are an integral part of Japanese territory.”
