You don't have to know Japanese to see the implications of tiny rocks on your EEZ. The only thing I
can read on this map is 200. Presumably the nautical miles. Okino-tori Shima is in the green area at
the centre-bottom of the map, touching the central green and the dark blue areas.
The site is about the Ogasawara or Bonin Islands. The green areas are probably the EEZ around these
islands. The one on the right is around Marcus Isl.

Note also that the Northern Territories a.k.a the Southern Kuriles are incorporated in Japan on this
map. So are the Senkaku group, and the same probably goes for Tok-do a.k.a. Liancourt. All of this
is disputed between Japan and other countries....
