To follow is the change in eastern limit of Korean territory taken from various books from 1894 to 1948.
In this revised posting, we mention only eastern end of longitude to show the eastern limit of Korea. (Thanks to Kaneganese for her great help)
It is important to know that Korean eastern limit was 130 degree 33' - 58' and the newest one was 130 degree 56' 23", which indicates Jukdo of Ulleungdo was Eastern end of Korean territory.
Liancourt rocks, which locate at 131 degree 52' E. longitude, were not included in Korean territory.

Pacifist.
Thanks, it looks great!
From this list of Korean eastern limit, we can clealy tell that Westerners, Japanese and even Korean geographer clearly recognized 竹島/Liancourt Rocks was outside of Korean territory throughout 1894 - 1948.
But it is interesting that the description of the eastern limit had changed to start to include Ulleundo after 1905, the year Japan incorporated 竹島(Takeshima)/Liancourt Rocks into Shimane, Japan.
Thanks Kaneganese.
So the chief of Ulleungdo's report in 1906 that says "Japan included our Dokdo" turned out to be a complete misunderstanding... or did he intentionally lie knowing it was not Korean territory?
Pro-Korean scholars used to say that Korea couldn't protest because Korea was controlled by Japan in 1906. Then why didn't they protest in 1894, 1901, 1904?
All the geographical books and texts indicated that Ulleungdo (and Jukdo) was the eastern limit of Korea. If they believed that "Dokdo" was their territory, why didn't they protest?

--->I dont know about the 地誌 in 1909 because it already linked out and I cannot refind it.Both of records means Liancourt Rocks is not included and it shows Korean had nothing inspection and georgaphy survey of Liancourt Rocks.(Just for post additional infomation that listed in my files.)

Thanks, I will add them later.
GTOMR,
Great!

I think he misunderstood it with some mysterious flying island called Usando. He didn't even know where it is and it seems like he didn't know about 1900 Imperial Ordinance which he should have known as a head of the Ulleundo.
By the way, Chosu Ilbo reports that Korean found new document. I can't see the line "不因海気極清朗, 不登最高頂, 則不可見 " in the picture of the document though. Why don't they show the important part?

Boys, the Koreans knew were Dokdo was at least since 1900 this is recorded here.
Dokdo is Korean land
Even in 1904 it was recorded again Koreans knew of Dokdo in the Japanese Warship Niitaka's logbooks.
Dokdo Record
Saying Koreans didn't know of Liancourt Rocks before 1906 is a B.S. claim that can be debunked with only two documents.
The fact Shim Heung Taek gave the wrong distance shows he was a bad governor that's all.
It is also proof the Koreans did not consider Ulleungdo as the Eastern boundary of Chosun.
The 1901 record is here.

Steve Barber,
You should read the following for the truth in Niitaka's record:
http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2007/10/1904-sep-25-first-record-of-dokdo-for.html
You wrote, "The fact Shim Heung Taek gave the wrong distance shows he was a bad governor that's all".
That's correct. The bad governor didn't know the eastern limit of his own country and misunderstood what Japanese officials told him.
You admit this...this is a progress.
After all, there is no ground for Koreans to say "Dokdo is ours".
Pacifist, Shim Heung Taek knew what "Dokdo" was. The name was common usage at about two years (at least) before the Japanese visited Ulleungdo in March of 1906.
Did you hear the news Pacifist? The Koreans just found a huge deposit of gas hydrate. Do you think Korea is going to risk this area at the ICJ just because the Japanese Military annexed it in 1905?
You are dreaming Pacifist!!
Read this and weep Japan

Awesome, GTOMR
I think we need to revise the post again soon. But one thing is clear. It was common knowledge for both Japanese and Korean and Westerners that the eastern limit of Choson was 130°35′～54′which exclude Takeshima/Liancourt Rocks/Dokdo from 1887 to 1948.
