Every year on February 22nd, Shimane prefecture holds Takeshima Day. Japan and Korea have a huge conflict over the island, technically it made from some small islands.
The Shimane prefecture's islands belong to Japan and that is based on historical facts and international law. In fact, our prefectural residents used to fish around the islands.
The islands, however, have been occupied by Korean police force. In 1953, Korean armed forces made an attack on the islands, and killed and captured many innocent fishermen there. Since then, the illegal situations continue over the islands.
Many Japanese people almost forgot about the issue until Shimane prefecture established Takeshima Day in 2005. I want people not only in Japan but also all over the world to know this illegal occupation.
