Tsushima, An Island of Conflicts With Two-Faced Japanese 
[Click Into the Hermit Kingdom (11)]

excerpt:
[The policymakers concerning with the scrapping of the 
fisheries agreement by Japan should consider the historical 
facts in the wake of the Tsushima conquest by Choson in 1419. 
Over the following centuries, Tsushima islanders never gave up 
the two-faced tactic of shamelessly begging for food and then 
downright pillaging whenever possible. ]
