3 signatures so far! Petition created by: Gi-Tae Park This petition asks politicians, mapmakers, and whoever it may concern to use 'East Sea' to describe the body of water in question or both Korean and Japanese designation simultaneously (e.g. 'East Sea/Sea of Japan') 3 have signed so far - help us get to 1,000.  We have achieved 0.3% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress Using a proper name for the body of water between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago is not simply a question of changing the name of a geographical feature. It is rather a part of national effort by the Korean people to erase the legacy of Japanese Imperialism and to redress the unfairness that has resulted from it. It is an absolutely mistaken thing to hear one side of story and follow.If we let this kind of things alone, it brings about a serious problem to disturb order of International society. For the reference, the world's largest commercial mapmaker, National Geographic, Graphic Maps , and the travel guidebook, Lonely Planet Publication promised us that they would now use the name 'East Sea.' In addition, National Geographic, worldatlas.com, and Lonely Planet are already using the name 'East Sea' in their website after we pointed out the error. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshells/north_east_asia/north_korea/ north_korea.htm http://www.nationalgeographic.com/maps/updates/seaofjapan.html http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/eastsea.htm Comments Note: This service is provided as a service to TakingITGlobal Members.
