Japan's recognition of Korea's Dokdo territorial jurisdiction - From 'Korea-Japan Treaty' to 'New-Japan Fisheries Agreement' - Choi, Jang-Keun This study analyzed "Japan's recognition of Korea's Dokdo territorial jurisdiction - From 'Korea-Japan Treaty' to 'New-Japan Fisheries Agreement' - " First, the Allies determined Dokdo as Korean territory in the final battle of World War Ⅱ and Dokdo were treated as Korea's territory in the peace treaty with Japan. Second, Korea's position of "Dokdo issue does not exist" in the 'Korea-Japan Treaty' had penetrated, but Japan has proposed a private secret agreement to South Korea for maintaining the current status of Dokdo and yet Japan has claimed territorial sovereignty but recognized the jurisdiction rights to Korea. Third, in the continental shelf agreements Japan has not denied Korea's Dokdo territorial jurisdiction and Japan gave up "the Dokdo as a reference point". Fourth, Japan abandoned the fisheries agreement of 1965 in 1997 unilaterally and required. to determine the new fisheries agreement after one-year Japan has admitted. korea's Dokdo territorial jurisdiction

This study focused on the Japanese fisher's fishing manner in the Dokdo sea lion fishing field which is the only mammal breed area in the East Sea through 「sea otter·fur seal fishing law(臘虎腽肭獸獵法)」 announced in 1894. Japan prepared abbreviated fishing laws which demand an application for fishing licenses to develop the national fishing industry after the advance of foreign fishing vessels into the Japanese territorial sea in late 19th century. However, Japanese fishers who advanced to Dokdo competitively over hunted without the required licenses. Only Nakai who failed to receive fishing licenses and expelled from Russian fishing fields tried to submit fishing license applications to the Korean government. Nakai received sole fishing rights anomaly from the Japan government excluding 「Sea Otter·Fur Seal Fishing Law(臘虎腽肭獸獵法)」 after the annexation of Dokdo. As a result, the Dokdo fishing field became Nakai's private fishing field to massacre female and baby sea lion. When Takeshima Fishing Corporation dissolved, people of Kumi region who owned Dokdo fishing field rights sell the right to Ulleungdo diving fishers and stopped sail to Dokdo. Fishers from Oki trusted fishing field management to Ulleungdo fishers, which recognized Dokdo as annexation of Ulleungdo.

The comparative study of Japanese ‘Foot culture’ - The act of shoes wearing and off Ⅱ – Kuriyama, Midori This study is based on the viewpoint of the human body as a symbol of its culture and focused on Japanese legs and feet. In this paper I reconsidered about Japanese acts of shoes wearing and off by investigating indoor-shoes (slippers). As a result, Japanese have a long history of wearing indoor-shoes while they have a custom to remove shoes for indoor. And modern Japanese continues this custom of wearing slippers when indoors. I suppose that their original reason of wearing indoor shoes was to get warm because of the function in Japanese traditional house and also Japanese high level of hygiene. For most modern Japanese wearing indoor shoes became a custom without being aware of its purpose and they developed this custom to have a tendency of changing shoes for each space which was divided by a line. I concluded that investigating Japanese act of shoes-off was also needed for research of Japanese foot culture.
