AB - Geographical name of the sea between Korean peninsular and Japan has been the issue in the international community. The geographical name of the sea in this area, used in the map published by European cartographers or publishing company has been reported. However it has not been reported that which cartographic material was used by the governments or officials as major reference on the issue of geographical name. Maps and cartographic materials on Korea published before 1920's in the National Archive, UK were analyzed. These materials are the government documents or official map collections by War office, U.K. It is found that the British government collected the maps which contains the cartographic information, like geographical positions, longitude and latitude. Other maps, published by Chosen (Korean) government were not collected. British government officials or soldiers, stationed or worked in China or Japan collected and edited the geographic information on Korea. It should be mentioned that the British government has a their own standard on the value of geographic (mainly cartographic) informations based on traditional view on the 'scientific mapping' and maps. The information on the geographical names of Korea were collected and translated in Japan. A British diplomat Ernest Satow translated geographical name of Korea for British government. He also published a geographical gazetteer of Korea. Japanese navy official Kondo Makoto and Japanese geologist Koto Bunjiro also provided the information to european map publishers.
