The Government of Japan officially named the Islands “Takeshima” and decided that the Islands would come under the jurisdiction of the Oki Island branch office of the Shimane Prefectural Government by Cabinet Decision on January 1905. The Cabinet Decision reconfirmed Takeshima as Japanese territory. Japan has exercised its sovereignty over Takeshima peacefully and continuously since then.
