National pride./ Korean called the sea 'East Sea' since 414 (or before). But, Japan called the sea 'The Sea of Japan' since 1602(But they still used 'East Sea' more. And Japan decided to call the sea 'The Sea of Japan' in international conference, 1912(at that time, Korea was colony of Japan). And now, two country argue about that(and Korean tries to call the sea 'East Sea'). In fact, 'The sea of Japan' is wrong name cause the sea is between Korea and Japan-and Korea is not Japan anymore!

What sea is east of South Korea and northwest of Japan?
that sea is NOT Japen Sea.Japen has been made most of maps which has the sea between Korea and Japen as Japen sea.Actually, that sea is owned by Korea , not Japen.In that area. Japenese have no rights to get there.In the actual map, they made Japenese sea, but the actual name is Korea sea or east sea..AnswerAt the moment it is known as the Sea of Japan, but in my latest atlas it is named as the Sea of Japan (East Sea). This is because of a official dispute between Japan and North and South Korea over the name, which is currently in the hands of the United Nations.Japan wants it to stay as the Sea of Japan, while the Koreans want the old name of the East Sea restored.
