Abstract

Nakane Kiyoshi(中根淑) worked for the Japanese Ministry of Army and wrote the Heiyo- Nakane Kiyoshi(兵要日本地理小誌) etc.. His geographical textbooks has long been used as a Japanese geography textbook as well as a military textbook. The Army Staff Bureau's perception of Japanese territory is well reflected in the Heiyo- Nakane Kiyoshi, which was compiled based on the latest information at the time. Japan's islands located on the stage were introduced in the body of Heiyo- Nakane Kiyoshi and Japanese territory was displayed Nihonkoku-zenzu(日本國全圖) and Sanindo-no-zu(山陰道之圖), but Ulleungdo and Dokdo was not marked. As a result, Nakane did not recognise Ulleungdo and Dokdo as Japanese territory. The situation of changes of Japanese territory was accurately reflected in Dokugaku-Niho nchiri-sho(獨學日本地理書), Ulleungdo and Dokdo was not recognized as Japan ese territory. Nakane clearly wrote that Dokdo(Matsushima), Ulleungdo(Takeshima) beca me Korean territory in Nakane Kiyoshi(日本地理小誌). This is the first and only case in Japanese geography textbooks, and is also evident in Nihonkoku-zenzu and Sanindo-no-zu. Nakane's perception that Dokdo(Matsushima), Ulleungdo(Tak eshima) belongs to Joseon continues in Nihon-sozu(日本總圖) and Sanindo-no-zu of Nihonchiri-shogaku(日本地理小學).
