A misnomer endorsed by the Japanese government itself and supported by the majority of the gullible and uneducated population of Japan with no regards to history whatsoever.
The Japanese think that the so called "sea of japan" is the body of water between S.Korea and Japan. However, that body of water has been called the East Sea (in relation to Korea) for over 2000 years and represented in maps both in Europe as well as Japan as the EAST SEA.

The area of ocean which otherwise would simply be a part of Pacific Ocean were it not for Japan's presence. The term "East Sea," recently coined by ignorant Koreans to replace "Sea of Japan," is neither appropriate or accurate, and has obviously nothing whatsoever to do with "Japanese occupation" during WWII, which itself is a total hoax.
