East Sea:
The name "East Sea" has been used in Korea for more than 2000 years as illustrated in various reference such as "History of the Three Kingdoms(三國史記)", the monument of King Gwanggaeto, and "Map of Eight Provinces of Korea(八道總圖)."
The name "Sea of Japan", however, was first used by Mateo Ricci in 1602 and various historical records show that the Japanese themselves did not refer to the sea area as the "Sea of Japan" for a long time. Japan insists that the name "Sea of Japan" came into widespread use in the 19th century by stating that the old western maps showed an increased use of the name "Sea of Japan" throughout the 19th century. However, numerous Japanese maps at that time such as "Simplified Map of Japan's Periphery(日本邊界略圖, 1809)" and "New World Map(新製輿地全圖, 1844)" referred to the sea area as the "Sea of Joseon(Korea)," and this demonstrates that the name "Sea of Japan" had not been established even in Japan then.
With the rise of Japan as a strong power in Asia in the late 19th century and the early 20th century, when world maps were being drawn similarly to current ones in earnest, the sea area between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago became widely known as the "Sea of Japan." Usage of the name "Sea of Japan" further increased while Korea did not have the opportunity to claim the legitimacy of the name "East Sea" to the international community during its Japanese colonization period, particularly when the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) published its first edition of the "Limits of Oceans and Seas" in 1929, a major source of reference for the names and borders of waters around the world. Moreover, when its second edition was published in 1937 and the third edition in 1953, Korea continued to remain under the Japanese rule and was also in the middle of the Korean War respectively.................http://www.mofa.go.kr/ENG/policy/focus/eastsea/index.jsp?menu=m_20_10_20
