I went to the University of Texas at Austin’s homepage to see a map of the Mediterranean (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps). Many travelers recommended this website as a ‘collection of maps.’ But I was surprised at the collection. There were so many maps. And more surprisingly, I even saw an old map of Korea and Japan. I forgot about my initial purpose of finding a map of the Mediterranean and I began to look at these old maps. Most of the old maps (made by western people) called the East Sea as ‘the Sea of Japan.’ I have heard that there are also many maps that call the East sea as ‘the East Sea.’ But I couldn’t find any maps like this. I think the Korean government or various universities should find old maps which state the East Sea as ‘the East Sea’ and make them available to the public.
