I think we've cycled thru that one before: there's no English geographic term "East Sea" with any standard meaning. The Korean word for Sea of Japan happens to translate literally to "East Sea" in English, so does the Japanese word for "Pacific Ocean". Neither changes the fact that the English terms are "Sea of Japan" and "Pacific Ocean" respectively. I wonder is this going to be brought up reguarly?

A small point for Americans but a major issue for Koreans!

Every world atlas that I've seen calls it the Sea of Japan.
