AB - The purpose of this paper is to consider the mountain hierarchy system of Philippe Buache in order to find some implication for the naming of “East Sea”. For this, we surveyed the old maps and old manuscripts possessed by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Firstly, Philippe Buache became the first Royal geographer as a member of the Academie des Sciences. He introduced general system theory in geography to find the worldly order by the hierarchies of the mountains and oceans. Secondly, Buache’s used maps as a mean of geovisualiazation for a new discovery. Thirdly, the Earth is marked by chains of mountains which join together from one end of the continents to the other. These mountain ranges divide the three ocean basins. Each ocean basin is divided into maritime basins which are separated from each other by marine mountain ranges. East Sea is a particular maritime basin of the Pacific Ocean. Fourth, Buache always labelled East sea as ‘Mer de Corée’. A possible precursor of this labelling was Robert Dudley’s Asia map of 1647 and Guillauime Delisle’s Asia map of 1720. Fifth, the meaning of Buache’s toponomic choice in relation to the naming of East Sea is discussed.
