japan has territorial disputes with korea, china and russia, and all of them are islands surrounded sea.
some super-nationalistic japanese politicians, like this guy below, takes creative actions to show that one of the beautiful islands belongs to japan. recently he visited the beautiful "japanese island" by diving in the sea. yeah, the island is so small that sometimes it is covered by sea waters.
according to the japanese government statistics, OFFICIALLY, there are 122 japanese citizens living in this "japanese island" covered by sea waters.
who says politics is boring :-)
