1. DOKDO became KOREAN TERRITORY in the 6TH CENTURY A.D. (historical records such as Samguk Sagi specifically indicate 512 AD), and has always been considered together with its parent island, Ulleungdo of Korea, even by Japan. Dokdo is ONLY 87KM away from Ulleungdo and they are VISIBLE from each other. Dokdo is over 157km away from the closest Japanese territory Okinoshima, and it is NOT EVEN VISIBLE FROM ANY PART OF JAPAN.
2. Japan calls Dokdo "Takeshima" (meaning "bamboo island" in Japanese) now, but there is not a single bamboo tree in Dokdo. Historically they've called several different names for the same island Dokdo. Sometimes they even called Ulleungdo "Takeshima" too. Terribly inconsistent. (As a matter of fact, there are many Takeshimas in Japan.)
3. Japan officially recognized Dokdo as Korean territory so many times in history, not only to Korea but also to itself and 3rd parties. For example, When Japan and USA were in a dispute over Ogasawara(小笠原) islands in 1854, the JAPANESE GOVERNMENT presented its official map(三國接壤之圖) and argued "DOKDO IS KOREAN TERRITORY", and WON THE DISPUTE. That map was made by a Japanese geographer, Hayashi Shihei(林子平), in 1785, and it was their OFFICIAL MAP since the Edo government (1603-1868 江戸時代). Japan specifically marked on the map that the ENTIRE AREA belongs to Korea not only in Japanese ("朝鮮の持也") but also in French ("a La Coree"). There couldn't have been any mistake about it because THERE IS NOTHING ELSE IN THE REGION; Ulleungdo and Dokdo are close enough to be visible from each other.
4. Another official map of Japan, "大日本地圖" (published in 1890 and 1895) used modern western cartography techniques, and Takeshima (Ulleungdo) and Matsushima (Dokdo) can be seen on the overall map of Japan's surrounding waters. However, both of these islands are clearly indicated as part of Korea. (This is only the tip of the iceberg.) Most importantly, DAIJOKAN (太政官), the highest authority of the Japanese government officially recognized Dokdo as Korean territory in 1877. The Japanese government officially and VOLUNTARILY announced the same EVEN AFTER WORLD WAR II by FINANCIAL MINISTERIAL ORDINANCE No.4 (大藏省令, on February 13, 1951) and again by PRIME MINISTERIAL ORDINANCE No.24 (總理府令, on June 6, 1951), which have NEVER been REVISED OR REVOKED to date. We can clearly see that the Japanese government has been concealing and contradicting its own laws. Not to mention, it has also been lying to its own people for decades.
5. Japan secretly incorporated Dokdo into Japan (Shimane prefecture) in 1905. OK, we understand why they had to keep it secret to Koreans, but why secret to Japanese? The answer is simple: the natural-born sneaky Japs didn't want the Western powers to know about their island theft. The reason they incorporated Dokdo into Japan was based on the theory of "terra nullius" (no man's island). How could they be so STUPID to officialy recognize it as Korean territory one day, and claim it's nobody's the next? That's a clear VIOLATION of the basic principle of ESTOPPEL under INTERNATIONAL LAW. Now some Japanese even claim that Dokdo was historically their island. If it was originally theirs, why even bother to incorporate it into their territory out of the blue in 1905? Why claim "terra nullius"? Why secret? lol
6. Based on the CAIRO Convention and the POTSDAM Declaration which Japan UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED and therefore legally bound itself by, and specifically according to the JAPANESE INSTRUMENT OF SURRENDER the Allied Powers (Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers: SCAP) permanently separated Dokdo from Japan in 1946 (SCAPIN No.677). The Allied Powers later officially returned other islands to Japan, but Dokdo was never returned. South Korea already became independent in 1945 and its government was recognized by the UN in 1948, under these circumstances and consistently with SCAPIN, when Japan was still not a sovereign nation. Japan regained its full sovereignty only on April 28, 1952. Japan is now suddenly claiming that Dokdo was returned to them "because it was NOT mentioned in the San Francisco Treaty of 1951". All the other minor islands that were returned to Japan by the end of 1951 were without exception publicly announced and officially recognized. There are about 3000 islands that belong to Korea and undisputed, but none of the islands were mentioned in the San Francisco Treaty either. I mean, how can a treaty (or anything) be a basis for claiming something it didn't even care to talk about? So, what is their point? Historically theirs? No man's island? SF Treaty?
