일본 ‘북방영토의 날’의 의미와 과제
The Significance and Challenges of Japan's "Northern Territories Day" To celebrate "Northern Territories Day" on February 7, "rallies demanding the return of territories" were held in Tokyo and Nemuro (根室), a city in Hokkaido (北海道), Japan. The rallies attracted considerable attention as they were being held after the Japan-Russia summit took place in December 2016. Those who participated in the rallies noted that "a sincere determination toward a peace treaty was present in the statement released after the summit talks" and expressed their hope for further progress to be made on the Kuril Islands issue in 2017. Former Japanese residents of the Kuril Islands revealed their concern that "they may have been harboring false hope when no particular progress has been made on territorial issues." Regarding the possibility of joint economic activities on the Kuril Islands, they argued that "such activities will require the territorial issue's resolution" and that "the Japanese government should firmly maintain their position when negotiating."

쇄국시대에 조선인이 된 일본인
A Japanese in Secluded Joseon Tsuko ichiran (通航一覽), which can roughly be translated as "Survey of Foreign Relations," is a chronological collection of documents related to Japan's foreign relations with its neighboring countries between 1566 and 1825 that was compiled around 1853 by multiple scholars including the neo-Confucianist scholar Hayashi Fukusai (林復斎) according to the Edo bakufu's order. For offering a wealth of information on not only the visits Korean envoys made to Japan, but on the exchanges Japan engaged in with its neighbors, Tsuko ichiran is considered an essential source for studying the history of Japanese diplomacy during the Edo period. This source also happens to include an interesting story involving the Korean mission to Japan in 1748. The following introduces an annotated summary of the story described in volume no. 62, or the thirty-eighth volume about the Joseon dynasty (朝鮮國部) in Tsuko ichiran.
