Japan is one of the closest neighbors from Korea at least geographically.
However, she is also one of the farthest countries from Korea. A current news about a small islet called Tokdo of Korea motivates me to write this article to my great reluctance. Recently, the Korean people and the Korean government immediately and angrily rebutted the Japanese government's claim that the islet Tokdo is the part of its territory. Tokdo is a small rocky island which is located in the east most Korea and is included in UllungKun, North KyungSang Providence in South Korea. Historically, it was administered by old Korean countries.
