You Say Dokdo, I Say Takeshima….

The article reports that South Korea and Japan are focusing their love-hate conflict on a cluster of volcanic outcrops known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in Korea in the Sea of Japan, about 210 kilometers across the water from either of their islands. In the minds of Japan and South Korea, Takeshima and Dokdo have grown larger enough to encompass decades of conflict. Falling-out is reportedly a cause for concern not only in Seoul and Tokyo but in the U.S. as well.
