18∼19세기 일본의 ‘마쓰시마’ 인식의 추이

Abstract

Since Takeshima first appeared in the 16th century and Isotokeshima first appeared in the early 17th century, the fact that Takeshima in Japan refers to Ulleungdo remained unchanged at least until the mid-19th century. Matsushima, which refers to Dokdo, was first seen in 1667, but the fact that it refers to Dokdo has remained unchanged until the mid-19th century. This was also true when the Shogunate imposed a bans on the Takeshima as a result of the "Takeshima Ikken" in the late 17th century, and when the Shogunate again expressed interest in Takeshima in the early 18th century. In particular, most of the literature describes the distance between Takeshima and Matsushima as 40 ri. Although some of the literature has been described differently, it is an exception and the literature is not credible. Therefore, in Japan until the middle of the 19th century, Matsushima(Dokdo) was not recognized as Ulleungdo, nor was it recognized as belonging to Oki Island. However, after the Meiji era, maps bearing the names of western names were imported backwards into Japan and suffered chaos, resulting in the recognition of “Matsushima = Ulleungdo” in Japan. Then the investigation of the Navy Department confirmed the island that people called Matsushima as Ulleungdo. However, this does not mean that the confirmation of the name is directly linked to the perception of Sovereignty. Japan's perception of Ulleungdo and Dokdo, the perception of Ulleungdo has changed with the perception of "Matsushima = Dokdo = Ulleungdo", but the perception of Dokdo has gone in a completely different direction after the disconnection due to the perception of "Matsushima = Ulleungdo".
