Why Japan has no leg to stand

On Feb. 22, 2005, Shimane Prefecture in Japan designated that day as "Takeshima Day" every year marking the 100th anniversary of Japan`s claim to sovereignty over Dokdo. That sparked an unprecedented series of protests in Korea.
On July 9, 2007, Japan included Dokdo as its territory in a Defense White Paper, and on July 14 of this year, the Japanese government released a revised educational guideline manual for middle school teachers that describes the islets as part of its territory. This triggered a fresh public uproar here.
