The picture is the front cover of the 2008 South Korean Defense White Paper and this book jacket is censured in Japan now. The Government of South Korea has been insisting that the small islands that are called Takeshima in Japan should be their own and used a color photograph of the disputed islands on the front page. Takeshima is an integral part of Japan and this Korean attitude should not be overlooked.
For reference;

The Korean Government should give the correct education of history to their people! As long as they have this wrong attitude, the relationship of trust will never exist.

２００８韓国国防白書
写真は韓国の国防白書の最新版である。この表紙に竹島が載っている。韓国の態度はいったいどこまで図々しいのか。韓国政府は自国民に正しい歴史教育を行うべきではないか。そうでないといつまでたっても日本との間に信頼関係など生まれないだろう。
