S. Korean protest against "Takeshima Day" ceremony

About 50 South Koreans gather in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on Feb. 22, 2015, to protest as Japan's Shimane prefectural government held its 10th annual "Takeshima Day" ceremony in the prefectural capital city of Matsue the same day. Both Japan and South Korea claim sovereignty over a group of islets off the prefecture. South Korea, which calls the islets Dokdo, now administers them. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
