| Chosun Sea,
a Name Used Even by the Japanese
Based on an examination of maps made in Japan,
maps which were made by the mid 19th century were
discovered to use the term Sea of Chosun.
Based on such evidence, Sea of Chosun and Sea
of Korea was the established term of the East
Sea region until the mid 19th century.
