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.

Rare, educated Jap: What you idiot?
Dumb Avg. Jap: Da see of japan raer i goin pish!
Rare, educated Jap: You're a fool. The "Sea of Japan" is non existent. It's made up by our incompetent,
dumb government. It's been called the East Sea for 2000 years and recorded on European maps as the East Sea since the 16th cent. People like you are the reason why our population as a whole is regarded to be
dumb and ignorant.
Dumb Avg. Jap: Noooooooouuu! Eberybady call it da Shea of Japan! Japanesh Wocks!!
Rare, educated Jap: smh, smh.
