Jeong Young-mi: How has Japan perceived Dokdo?

Japanese perception of Dokdo was merely an element constituting the perception of Ulleungdo from the 17th to 18th centuries, and from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century, it was Ulleungdo expressed under the name Dokdo. Following the incorporation of Dokdo in 1905, it can be described as the totality of perceptions that sought to reinterpret the historical perception of Ulleungdo as the history of the perception of Dokdo. In other words, Japan's perception of Dokdo is the result of the historical perception of Ulleungdo being arbitrarily or randomly reorganized under the name Dokdo. *How Japan Has Perceived Dokdo* describes this re-established Japanese perception of Dokdo by comparing it with the "Japanese perception of Dokdo" cited in Japan's claims of sovereignty over the island. Focusing on the names of Ulleungdo and Dokdo in Japan, the book analyzes the creation and evolution of perceptions reflected in these names, covering the period from the 10th to the 20th century. It provides more specific details on why Japan claims Dokdo as its inherent territory, yet in reality, this is not the case.
