  • The History of Dokdo Since Isabu Conquered Usanguk in 512 A.D
    Dokdo Dokdo is a small island, but is rich in marine products and mineral resources. Dokdo, our only marine base on the East Sea extends our territory farther towards the East. The Natural Environment of Dokdo Dokdo has a mild climate for people to live in with warm temperatures and precipitation of 1,300mm per year. The size of this small island is 0.233km2 and the color of the island is dark reflecting the color of the trachyte and tuff. In November 1965, a fountain was found at the northeast side of Seodo and people began to inhabit Dokdo. ■ The History of Dokdo Since Isabu conquered Usanguk in 512 A.D. (the 13th year of King Jijeung, Silla Kingdom), Dokdo has been a part of Korea's territory. During the Goryeo dynasty, Dokdo was left uninhabited, however, Korean fishermen continued fishing around Dokdo Island through the Joseon dynasty. In 1953, the Dokdo Volunteer Garrison deterred the Japanese from landing on the island, and our efforts to defend Dokdo continues. 1. Three Kingdom Period There are not many records on Dokdo during the Three Kingdom Period. However, Samguksagi (the History of Three Kingdoms) writes about the conquest of Dokdo by Isabu. The Conquest of Dokdo Isabu conquered Usanguk, consisting of Ulleungdo and Dokdo, in A.D. 512 (the 13th year of King Jijeung of Silla). Since then, Ulleungdo and Dokdo were incorporated into Korea. Usanguk paid tribute to Silla every year, and after the fall of Silla, its tribute continued to Goryeo. 2. Goryeo Though a specific record of Dokdo cannot be found, the records on Ulleungdo allow us to figure out what Dokdo was like at that time.

Dokdo is a volcanic island created by a volcanic eruption that promoted the formation of Ulleungdo (located in the East sea), which is ~87.525 km away from Dokdo. Dokdo is an important island because of geopolitics; however, because of certain investigation barriers such as weather and time constraints, the awareness of its insect fauna is less compared to that of Ulleungdo. Dokdo’s insect fauna was obtained as 10 orders, 74 families, and 165 species until 2017; subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, 23 unrecorded species were discovered via an insect survey.

  • The Case of Dokdo
    Resolution of Territorial Disputes in East Asia: The Case of Dokdo Laurent Mayali & John Yoo* This Article seeks to contribute to solving of the Korea-Japan territorial dispute over Dokdo island (Korea)/Takeshima (Japanese). The Republic of Korea argues that Dokdo has formed a part of Korea since as early as 512 C.E.; as Korea currently exercises control over the island, its claim to discovery would appear to fulfill the legal test for possession of territory. Conversely, the Japanese government claims that Korea never exercised sufficient sovereignty over Dokdo. Japan claims that the island remained terra nullius—in other words, territory not possessed by any nation and so could be claimed—until it annexed Dokdo in 1905. Japan also claims that in the 1951 peace treaty ending World War II, the Allies did not include Dokdo in the list of islands taken from Japan, which implies that Japan retained the island in the postwar settlement. This article makes three contributions. First, it brings forward evidence from the maps held at various archives in the United States and Western Europe to determine the historical opinions of experts and governments about the possession of Dokdo. Second, it clarifies the factors that have guided international tribunals in their resolution of earlier disputes involving islands and maritime territory. Third, it shows how the claim of terra nullius has little legitimate authority when applied to East Asia, an area where empires, kingdoms, and nation-states had long exercised control over territory. * Laurent Mayali is the Lloyd M.

  • Korean Dance and Pansori in D.C.: Interactions with Others, the Body, and Collective Memory at a Korean Performing Arts Studio
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: KOREAN DANCE AND PANSORI IN D.C.: INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS, THE BODY, AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY AT A KOREAN PERFORMING ARTS STUDIO Lauren Rebecca Ash-Morgan, M.A., 2009 Directed By: Professor Robert C. Provine School of Music This thesis is the result of seventeen months’ field work as a dance and pansori student at the Washington Korean Dance Company studio. It examines the studio experience, focusing on three levels of interaction. First, I describe participants’ interactions with each other, which create a strong studio community and a women’s “Korean space” at the intersection of culturally hybrid lives. Second, I examine interactions with the physical challenges presented by these arts and explain the satisfaction that these challenges can generate using Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of “optimal experience” or “flow.” Third, I examine interactions with discourse on the meanings and histories of these arts. I suggest that participants can find deeper significance in performing these arts as a result of this discourse, forming intellectual and emotional bonds to imagined people of the past and present. Finally, I explain how all these levels of interaction can foster in the participant an increasingly rich and complex identity.

  • Ams Radiocarbon Dating of Holocene Tephra Layers on Ulleung Island, South Korea
    AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF HOLOCENE TEPHRA LAYERS ON ULLEUNG ISLAND, SOUTH KOREA Mitsuru Okuno1 • Miki Shiihara2 • Masayuki Torii3 • Toshio Nakamura4 • Kyu Han Kim5 • Hanako Domitsu6 • Hiroshi Moriwaki7 • Motoyoshi Oda8 ABSTRACT. Ulleung Island, a large stratovolcano, is located in the western part of the Japan Sea (East Sea), 130 km off the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula. The Ulleung-Oki (U-Oki) is a widely distributed tephra in and around the Japan Sea, and has an age of 10.7 cal ka BP obtained from the Lake Suigetsu data set (central Japan). Of the 7 tephra layers (U-7 to -1) on the island, the pumiceous U-4, U-3, and U-2 tephra layers are petrochemically and petrographically similar to the U-Oki tephra. To determine the eruption ages of 3 tephra layers on Ulleung Island, we conducted radiocarbon dating for 5 soil and 2 charcoal samples. Although the soil samples have the C/N ratios from 5 to 10, the obtained 14C dates are still consistent with the tephra stratigraphy of the island. The calibrated 14C dates for the U-4, U-3, and U-2 tephras are 11 cal ka BP, 8.3 or 9 cal ka BP, and 5.6 cal ka BP, respectively, indicating that the explosive eruptions occurred in the island with a time interval of 2000 to 3000 yr during the period of the early to middle Holocene. Based on our chronology, the U-4 tephra is most likely cor- related with the U-Oki tephra. INTRODUCTION Ulleung Island (3730N, 13052E), a large Quaternary stratovolcano, is situated in the west Japan Sea (East Sea), 130 km off the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula (Figure 1).

  • History of Dokdo
    History of Dokdo ■ Ancient and Period of Three Kingdoms Ancient and Period of Three Kingdoms The story of Usanguk(known as Dokdo now) was reported in [Silla Bongi]-King Jijeung 13years of 'Samguksagi' by Gim Busik, and [Yuljeon] Yisabujo. According to these documents, Ulleungdo and Usando(Dokdo) made into one sovereign. In King Jijeung 13 years(512), Usanguk was conquered by Yisabu with Yichan position, using the wood dolls. Hereby Ulleungdo and Usanguk(Dokdo) became a part of Korea territory as a part of the history. After that, Usanguk devoted their products to Silla every year, and also offered them to Goryeo even after the ruin of Silla, Usanguk people seemed to live in a group by half fishing and half farming according to its geographical feature and soil condition. Also, in spite of a low culture level the people seemed to communicate with Silla people through visiting. When a military approached to the village, the people rejected a submission, moving to top of a mountain but Yisabu brought them to his knees with stratagem when he was a sovereign of Haseullaju(known as Gangneung now). Usanguk was an antient tribe country, located in Ulleungdo, and its territory reached to Small islets around Dokdo and Ulleungdo. For a long time, Dokdo was the part of the Usanguk, and was possessed with Ulleungdo by Silla in King Jijeung 13 years. ■ Goryeo Dynasty Goryeo Dynasty The record of Usanguk was not found From conquering Usanguk in King Jijeung to early Goryeo Dynasty. In King Taejo 13 years(the first king of Goryeo Dynasty), Ulleungdo people named as Baekgil and Taedu and gave their products to Goryeo according to Goryeosa.

  • Public Holidays in South Korea
    - Public Holidays in South Korea - Importance and Implications for Expats by Michael Adler, Nowak & Partner Market Entry Consulting | Turnkey Company Setup | Executive Search & Recruitment | Interim Management Project Management | Crisis Management | Trustee Service | M&A / JV Negotiations - Public Holidays in South Korea - Coming to Korea as a foreigner, there are several things you might need to adapt to: a new culture and foreign language, a completely new environment, different behaviors, unfamiliar approaches and much more. You may not think about it at first, but public holidays are an important part of this foreign culture as well. You have to get to know them first to better understand the culture and they also have – in addition to the cultural component and the importance for the locals – a direct impact on expats and their time management. The public holidays in Korea range from Independence Day to Buddha's Birthday to the Korean Alphabet Day (Hangeul Day). This article focuses on the somewhat curious Hangeul Day as well as on the two most important (and longest) holidays: the Korean Lunar New Year Seollal and the harvest festival Chuseok. Seollal The Korean New Year is celebrated according to the lunar calendar and lasts for 3 days (The day before Seollal - Seollal - The day after Seollal). Depending on the calendar it takes either place in January or February, on the second full moon after the winter solstice. It rings in the annual Chinese Zodiac, which is also known in other Asian countries. During Seollal (설날) it is getting quite busy in Korea. This is because it is one of the most important Korean holidays, where Koreans typically travel to their hometown in order to spend the holidays with their families.
