竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) which is illegally occupied by South Korea, is Japanese territory.
It was announced that two clearly described aerial maps produced by the US government in 1953 (Showa 28) and 1954 (29) were found at the US National Archives.
It is said that this is the first time that the government's aeronautical chart showing 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) as Japanese territory has been confirmed immediately after the San Francisco Treaty of San Francisco came into effect (52).
Experts say it is 「an important material that reinforces Japan's claim that 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마)has been confirmed to hold Japan under the peace treaty.」
The institute commissioned Shimane University's Associate Professor 舩杉力修(Rikinobu・Funasugi, 후나스기 리키노부) (historical geography) to investigate old maps related to 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마).
A private research company commissioned to investigate about 100 items such as aeronautical charts after the war at the archives.
The two found were the 「US Air Force Aeronautical Chart」 (scale 1 / 500,000) issued by the US Air Force in December 1993 and the「US Air Force / Jet Aircraft Chart」 (1/2 million) in September 1954. ).
US-made aeronautical charts cover almost every region of the world and are said to have been widely used for civil and military purposes.
In each case, draw a dotted line between 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) with the Western name 「Liancourt Rocks」 and 鬱陵島(울릉도, Ulleungdo) in South Korea, and draw a dotted line between 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) and「Japan」 on the 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) side. ,「KOREA」was written on the side of 鬱陵島(울릉도, Ulleungdo).
About the dotted line The map legend explains that 1993 is the border line and 1979 is the border line of island sovereignty.
There is no dotted line in the edition issued before the signing of the peace treaty, and Associate Professor 舩杉(Funasugi, 리키노부)states that the two pieces 「seem to reflect the contents of the treaty.」
The treaty lists 鬱陵島(울릉도, Ulleungdo) and 済州島(Jeju Island, 제주도) as territories abandoned by Japan.
South Korea demanded that the United States, which drafted the treaty, add 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) to Japan's abandoned territory
Was rejected as「竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) has never been treated as part of South Korea.」
However, over the contents of the treaty, the Korean government said, 「独島(독도, Dokdo, Korean name of 竹島(Takeshima, 다케시마) was recognized as Korean territory as an island belonging to 鬱陵島(울릉도, Ulleungdo).」
「 (The listed islands that Japan abandons) is an example of more than 3,000 Korean islands, and it cannot be said that 独島(독도, Dokdo) is not included in Korean territory. 」
Associate Professor 舩杉(Funasugi, 리키노부)said, 「The two aeronautical charts seem to reflect the geographical recognition of the US government after the peace treaty came into effect, and will prove that Japan's claim is correct.」 talked.
