Lying in the Sea of Japan between Japan and the Korean Peninsula sits Takeshima, two islets surrounded by numerous rocks. At present, the issue of sovereiignty over Takeshima remains contested between Japan and the Republic of Korea. Historically, the area has been the site of many interactions between Japanese and Koreans and is especially tied to the history of Japan's southwestern San'in region. Shimane Prefecture native and teacher of reigional history Sugihara Takashi brings this rich history into relief by tracing the many stories that unfolded in the region, from the hunting of sea lions on Takeshima to the peaceful coexistence of Japan and Koreans lving side by side on the nearby island of Ulleungdo. Tkaeshima and its history remain every present in the hearts of the Japanese people and the story of this important region.
